Esther 6:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ The king inquired, “What honor and special recognition have been given to Mordecai for this act?”^(A)

The king’s personal attendants replied, “Nothing has been done for him.”

⁴ The king asked, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman was just entering the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.^(B)

⁵ The king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.”

“Have him enter,” the king ordered.
