Then Haman called together his friends and his wife, Zeresh. ¹¹ He ·told [boasted/recounted to] them ·how wealthy he was [^Lof the glory of his riches] and how many sons he had [^Cten; 9:10]. He also told them all the ways the king had ·honored [^Lmagnified] him and how the king had ·placed him higher than [exalted him over] his ·important men [nobles] and his ·royal officers [ministers; officials]. ¹² He also said, “I’m the only person Queen Esther ·invited [^Lcaused] to come with the king to the banquet she gave.
