Ester 6,13

HamanMordecaiZeresh

11 Så tok Haman kappen og hesten, kledde Mordekai, og ledet ham til hest gjennom byens torg, mens han ropte foran ham: “Slik gjøres det for den mannen som kongen ønsker å ære!”

12 Etterpå vendte Mordekai tilbake til kongens port, men Haman skyndte seg hjem, sørgende, med hodet tildekket.

Haman fortalte Zeresh, sin kone, og alle sine venner alt som hadde skjedd med ham. Hans vise menn og hans kone Zeresh sa til ham: “Hvis Mordekai, foran hvem du har begynt å falle, er av jødisk avstamning, vil du ikke seire mot ham, men vil sikkert gå til grunne.”

14 Mens de fortsatt snakket med ham, kom kongens evnukker og brakte raskt Haman til banketten Ester hadde forberedt.
