The king asked, “How have we honored and rewarded Mordecai for this?”
His servants answered, “Nothing has been done for him.”
“Are any of my officials in the palace?” the king asked.
Now Haman had just entered the courtyard…
Another “by chance” in life… 😊
Haman… had come to ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on the gallows that was now ready.
The accuser (Job 1:6-11; Zachariah 3:1).
…Haman got the robes and the horse, and he put the robes on Mordecai. Mordecai got on the horse, and Haman led him through the city square, announcing to the people as they went: “See how the king rewards a man he wishes to honor!”
An image of the victory procession to come (Colossians 2:13-15).
Haman hurried home, covering his face in embarrassment. He told his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. …While they were still talking, the palace eunuchs arrived in a hurry to take Haman to Esther’s banquet.
Not the happy mood he was hoping to bring to the party (Esther 5:14). 😒
Queen Esther answered, “…My people and I have been sold for slaughter. …we are about to be destroyed—exterminated!”
Then King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who dares to do such a thing? Where is this man?”
Esther answered, “Our enemy, our persecutor, is this evil man Haman!”
The accuser becomes the accused (Zachariah 3:2).
…the king cried out, “Is this man going to rape the queen right here in front of me, in my own palace?”
The king had no sooner said this than the eunuchs covered Haman’s head.
The party was over for Haman (Matthew 22:11-13). 😁
…Haman was hanged on the gallows that he had built for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger cooled down.
End of the line for Haman (Revelation 20:10).
