Esther 6:4
“And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.”
KJV
Read in Esther 6Meaning
The timing creates sharp dramatic irony: Haman arrives to seek Mordecai's death precisely when the king is looking for a way to honor him.
