1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
10 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.
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

The king could not sleep that night
So he decided to read a book
The book of his legal records
He decided to take a look
He was reminded of the time
When Mordecai reported the plot
The king wanted to know
How he had been thanked for his troth
Nothing had been done
Not yet for this man
The king wanted to reward him
Thank him for his stand
Haman had just arrived
To ask for Mordecai's death
The king asked for Haman's presence
They hadn't spoken just yet
He asked what should I do
To honor a good man
Hey man thought he would get
All that he can
He must be speaking of me
I am the man he upholds
I would give him a royal horse
Put on him a royal robe
I was slowly parade this man
Through the city streets
Proclaiming his royal honor
For all of the people to see
Go do these things at once
You'll leave the horse, yes you
Do all that you recommended
For Mordecai the Jew
Haman robed Mordecai
Led him through the city streets
Proclaiming his honor for all
For all the people to hear and see
Mordecai went back to rest
Sit down at the palace gate
Haman rush home and told his wife
All about his day
She said he must forget
About his malicious plan
Because now the Jew he hated
Was a famed and honored man
Haman was not happy
For he knew what she said was true
How did the tables turn?
Now he must honor the Jew
It's time for Esther's banquet
Where the king wants to hear her voice
Haman had to hurry
To attend he had no choice
(By Esther Coleman-Spells)
