CHAP. VI.
1 The King turneth ouer the Chronicles, and findeth the fidelitie
of Mordecai, 10 and commaundeth Haman to cause
Mordecai to be had in honour.
1 The same night note the King slept not, & he c&obar;manded
to bring þe; booke of the records, and
the chronicles: & they were read before þe; King.
2 Then it was found written that Mordecai
note had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the
Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought
to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.
3 Then the King sayde, What honour and
dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai note for this?
And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him,
sayd, There is nothing done for him.
4 And the King sayde, Who is in the court?
(Now Haman was come into the inner court of
the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the
King to note hang Mordecai on the tree that he
had prepared for him.)
5 And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold,
Haman standeth in the court. And the King
sayd, Let him come in.
6 And when Haman came in, the King saide
vnto him, What shalbe done vnto þe; man, whom
the King will honour? Then Haman thought in
his heart, To whom would the King do honour
Mordecai promoted.
more then to me?
7 And Haman answered the King, The man
whome the King would honour,
8 Let them bring for him royall apparell,
which the King vseth to weare, and the note horse
that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne
royall may be set vpon his head.
9 And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered
by the hand of one of the Kings most noble
princes, & let them apparel the man (whome
the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon
the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and
proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto
the man, whome the King will honour.
10 Then the King said to Haman, Make haste,
take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said,
and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth
at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that
thou hast spoken.
11 So Haman tooke the rayment and the
horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on
horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and
proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to
the man whom the King will honour.
12 And Mordecai came againe to the Kings
gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his
head couered.
13 And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all
his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd
his wise men, & Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai
be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom
thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile
against him, note but shalt surely fall before him.
14 And while they were yet talking &wt; him,
came the Kings eunuches & hasted to bring Haman
vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
