Esther's patience paved the way for a remarkable chain of events. Haman left the first banquet in spirits, "joyful and merry of heart" that the king and queen favored him so. As Haman passed through the castle gate, though, his eyes fell on Mordecai, that Jew who still refused to pay him special homage. As we noted in the preceding chapter, Mordecai's reasons had nothing to do with disrespect but, rather, with his conscience and his relationship with Jehovah God. Yet, Haman "was immediately filled with rage." -ESTHER 5:9.
When Haman told his wife and friends of this slight, they urged hi to prepare a huge stake, over 72 feet (22 m), tall, and then to and then to ask the king's permission to hand Mordecai on it. Haman liked their idea ad immediately set about the task. - ESTHER 5:12-14.
