Est 6:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : The king asks Haman, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour? (Esther 6:6 ). It is good for leaders to enjoy rewarding good actions, not just giving punishments. This encourages people to do what is right and good. v. 6-9 : Haman thinks the king must be talking about him. He suggests giving the honored man the royal robes, the king’s own horse, and the royal crown. He says the man should be led through the city by one of the king’s noble princes, with everyone being told, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour (Esther 6:8-9 ). Haman’s pride makes him think he is the most important person. He believes the king loves him more than anyone else. This is a warning to us not to think too highly of ourselves or trust too much in what others think of us. Haman’s plan is grand, thinking he is preparing honor for himself.
