Esther 6

King Ahasuerus, unable to sleep, reads the chronicles and discovers Mordecai's uncovered plot by Bigthana and Teresh; inquiring about his reward, he summons Haman, who arrogantly assumes the honor is for himself and suggests a grand parade.[1][2] Haman is forced to robe Mordecai in royal apparel, lead him on the king's horse through the city proclaiming his honor, then mourns at home as his wife Zeresh and advisors warn of his fall before the Jew Mordecai before he is rushed to Esther's banquet.[1][2]
