Esther 6:4-6

Tree of Life Version

⁴ The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just come into the outer court of the king’s palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

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

The king said, “Let him come in.”

⁶ When Haman entered, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man whom the king desires to honor?”

Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king desire to honor rather than me?”
