ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

⁹ And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
