Esther 6:12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house mourning, and having his head covered. A proud, ambitious man would have said to himself, "No more of the king's gate for me! I shall direct my steps now to the king's palace, and hold myself ready for honour, office, emolument, which surely must now be at hand." Mordecai seems to have said within himself, "If these things are designed for me in God's good providence, they will find me. But they must seek me, for I shall not seek them. Those who confer them know my address. 'Mordecai, at the king's gate,' will still find me." (A. Raleigh, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. |
