“And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.”
While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived, and hastily brought Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared, demonstrating the interruption of Haman's conversation with his family and advisors by the king's eunuchs, who summon him to the second banquet that Esther had prepared. This summoning to the banquet represents the call to the moment of his ultimate exposure and undoing, as Esther will finally reveal her identity and her people's danger, using the intimate setting of the banquet to secure the king's intervention against Haman. The verse shows how events cascade upon one another, with each turning point leading to the next, all serving God's providential purposes.
