Esther 6:10 - Exposition

Make haste . The king will have no more delay in a matter which has been delayed far too long. Haman is to "hasten, and confer the honour at once. Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth in the king's gate . Mordecai's nationality and his employment were probably mentioned in the book of the chronicles. From these the king has learnt them, and he uses probably the very phrase of the records. Let nothing fail . Observe every particular of honour that you have mentioned; let there be no omission of one jot or tittle.
