What Does Esther 6:10 Mean?
The blow lands. The king tells Haman to make haste and do all this for Mordecai the Jew at the gate, letting nothing fail of all he has spoken. Every detail Haman devised for himself must now be lavished on the man he came to destroy, and by Haman's own hand.
The naming of Mordecai the Jew makes the reversal complete and exquisite. Haman must honor not merely a rival but the very man, and the very people, he plotted to annihilate. The king, unaware of the irony, simply commands his pleasure. The narrator lets the moment stand in all its astonishing justice. The trap the proud man set has sprung shut upon him.
