Esther 6:3-5

Common English Bible

³ “What was done to honor and reward Mordecai for this?” the king asked.

His young male servants replied, “Nothing was done for him, sir.”

⁴ “Who is that out in the courtyard?” the king asked. (Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He had come to tell the king to impale Mordecai on the pole that he had set up for him.)

⁵ The king’s servants answered, “That’s Haman standing out in the courtyard, sir.” So the king said, “Have him come in.”
