King Xerxes couldn’t sleep one night so he starts reading his chronicles (actually having them read to him). When he hears about Mordecai exposing the assassination plot he wonders what has been done to honor Mordecai.

Just then, Haman shows up in the king’s outer court. He’s actually there to get permission to hang Mordecai on the gallows. But before he can ask, the king asks him, “What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?”

Of course, the arrogant Haman believes the king means him so he lays it on thick – a royal robe the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden, and then one of the king’s most noble princes proclaims “this is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!” (Verses 8 and 9)

When King Xerxes tells him to do all that for Mordecai, he’s mortified and humiliated.
