Esther 6:3-5

Living Bible

³ “What reward did we ever give Mordecai for this?” the king asked.

His courtiers replied, “Nothing!”

⁴ “Who is on duty in the outer court?” the king inquired. Now, as it happened, Haman had just arrived in the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai from the gallows he was building.

⁵ So the courtiers replied to the king, “Haman is out there.”

“Bring him in,” the king ordered.
