5 The king's servants said to him, |Behold, Haman stands in the court.| The king said, |Let him come in.|

6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, |What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?| Now Haman said in his heart, |Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?|

7 Haman said to the king, |For the man whom the king delights to honor,

8 let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.

9 Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!'|
