And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor, let there be brought a royal robe which the king has worn, and a horse which the king has ridden and on which a royal crown has been set, demonstrating Haman's proposal for honors that reflect the height of privilege and status within the Persian court. Haman's suggestion of royal robes worn by the king himself and a horse that the king has ridden represents the most prestigious honors available and demonstrates Haman's assumption that the king intends to honor him with the highest possible recognition. The verse shows how Haman's assumption about the king's intentions leads him to propose honors that will ultimately be bestowed on Mordecai, his enemy.
