Chapter 6

1Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty {g} cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
(g) Meaning, the highest that could be found.

3And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai {a} for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
(a) For he thought it unworthy of his estate to receive a benefit and not reward it.

4And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to {b} hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
(b) Thus while the wicked imagine the destruction of others, they themselves fall into the same pit.

8Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and the {c} horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
(c) Meaning by this that the king should make him next to himself as Joseph was known to be next to Pharaoh in Ge 41:43.

13And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, {d} but shalt surely fall before him.
(d) Thus God sometimes puts in the mouth of the very wicked to speak that thing which he has decreed shall come to pass.
