Esther 6:12–14, “And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. 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. And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.”

As Haman took Mordecai thorough the city giving his enemy the honour that Haman wanted for himself, he realised that he could never ask the king to give him permission to execute Mordecai. He understood that something had gone wrong with his plans but he wasn’t quite sure what. Haman rushed home after he finished honouring Mordecai. His wife told him that he would never be able to destroy all the Jews because the Lord God was sovereign and cared for them. He would have to accept that his plan had failed. While this was happening the king’s courtiers came to take Haman to Esther’s banquet.
