John Trapp on Esther 6:4

Verſe 4. And the King ſaid, Who is in the Court] Joſephus ſaith, that he firſt asked, What a clock it was, and underſtanding that it was morn-light, (for ſo long he had heard his ſervants reade, and till then it was not that Mordecai's matter was mentioned, Haman being now ready to get a warrant for his execution) he asked, Who's there without? as deſirous to proceed by counſel in a buſineſſe of that conſequence.

Now Haman was come, &c.] He was early up, (and at Court for a miſchief) but never the nearer, ſave only to his own utter ruine.

To ſpeak to the King to hang Mordecai] Which till it were done, he could neither ſleep in quiet, nor eat with comfort. Little conſidered he how the Gallowes groaned for himſelf. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his ſtead, Prov. 11.8.

Vivit adhuc Chriſtus, regnat, regnabit & uſque: Atque hoſtes omnes ſub ditione premit.
