1 Ahasuerus reading in the Chronicles of the
good seruice done by Mordecai, taketh care
for his reward. 4 Haman comming to sue
that Mordecai might bee hanged, vnawares
giueth counsell that hee might doe him honour,
12 complayning of his misfortune, his
friends tell him of his finall destinie.
-- --
Mordecai the Iew, promoted.
1
On that night note could not
the King sleepe, and hee
commaunded to bring the
booke of Records of the
chronicles; and they were
read before the king.
2
And it was found written, that
Mordecai had told of note Bigthana, and
Teresh, two of the kings chamberleus,
the keepers of the note doore, who sought to
lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3
And the king said, What honour
and dignitie hath bene done to Mordecai
for this? Then said the kings seruants
that ministred vnto him, There
is nothing done for him.
4
¶ And the king said, Who is in the
court? (now Haman was come into the
outward court of the kings house, to
speake vnto the king, to hang Mordecai
on the gallons that hee had prepared
for him.)
5
And the kings seruants said vnto
him, Behold, Haman standeth in the
court. And the King saide, Let him
come in.
6
So Haman came in, and the king
said vnto him, What shall be done vnto
the man note whom the king delighteth to
honour? (now Haman thought in his
heart, To whom would the king delight
to doe honour, more then to my
selfe?)
7
And Haman answered the king,
For the man note whom the king delighteth
to honour,
8
noteLet the royall apparell bee
brought, note which the King vseth to
weare, and the horse that the King rideth
vpon, and the crowne royal which
is set vpon his head:
9
And let this apparell and horse
bee deliuered to the hand of one of the
kings most noble Princes, that they
may aray the man withall, whom the
king delighteth to honour, and note bring
him on horsebacke through the streete
of the city, and proclaime before him,
Thus shal it be done to the man whom
the king delighteth to honour.
10
Then the king saide to Haman,
Make haste, and take the apparell, and
the horse, as thou hast said, and doe euen
so to Mordecai the Iew, that sitteth at
the Kings gate: note let nothing faile of
all that thou hast spoken.
Mordecai the Iew, promoted.
11
Then tooke Haman the apparell,
and the horse, ∧ arayed Mordecai, and
brought him on hors-backe through the
streete of the city, and proclaimed before
him: Thus shall it bee done vnto
the man whom the King delighteth to
honour.
12
¶ And Mordecai came againe to
the kings gate: but Haman hasted to
his house, mourning, and hauing his
head couered.
13
And Haman told Zeresh his wife,
and all his friends, euery thing that
had befallen him. Then saide his wise
men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If
Mordecai be of the seed of the Iewes,
before whom thou hast begun to fall,
thou shalt not preuaile against him, but
shalt surely fall before him.
14
And while they were yet talking
with him, came the kings chamberlens,
and hasted to bring Haman vnto
the banquet that Esther had prepared.
