Esther 6:3-5

Modern English Version

³ So the king said, “What honor or dignity has been done for Mordecai as a result of this?”

Then the king’s servants attending him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”

⁴ So the king said, “Who is out in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just then entered from across the palace courtyard in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

⁵ The king’s attendants said to him, “Haman is waiting in the court.”

So the king said, “Let him enter.”
