Esther 6:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ The king asked, “How did I reward and promote Mordecai for this?”

The king’s personal staff replied, “Nothing was done for him.”

⁴ The king asked, “Who is in the courtyard?” At that moment, Haman came through the courtyard to the king’s palace to ask the king about hanging Mordecai on the pole he had prepared for him.

⁵ The king’s staff answered him, “Haman happens to be standing in the courtyard.”

“Let him come in,” the king said.
