Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
Then the king said to Haman, 'Hurry up and take the royal robe and the horse, just as you suggested, and do exactly that for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Don't leave out a single thing you mentioned.'
The king is commanding Haman to honor Mordecai with the very ceremony Haman had hoped to receive for himself.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during the Persian Empire when King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) discovered that Mordecai had once saved his life but was never rewarded. Haman, who hated Mordecai and had planned to have him executed, was ironically forced to publicly honor his enemy. This moment represents a dramatic reversal of fortune in the ongoing conflict between Haman and the Jewish people.
