What Does Esther 6:14 Mean?

Before Haman can absorb his household's dire warning, the king's servants arrive to hurry him to Esther's second banquet. Events now move faster than he can think. He is swept from the news of his fall straight toward the table where his ruin will be sealed.

The breathless pace mirrors the closing of the trap. Haman has no time to recover, no time to scheme; he is rushed to the very banquet he boasted of, now a place of dread. The narrator quickens the rhythm as the threads converge. The proud man is carried, almost helplessly, toward the moment Esther has prepared, where the queen will at last reveal who she is and what he has done.
