Esther 6:3-5

New Century Version

³ The king asked, “What honor and reward have been given to Mordecai for this?”

The king’s personal servants answered, “Nothing has been done for Mordecai.”

⁴ The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s palace. He had come to ask the king about hanging Mordecai on the platform he had prepared.

⁵ The king’s personal servants said, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.”

The king said, “Bring him in.”
