Esther 6 · Grade 3

The Right Night

Name Date

Read the Story

On that night, the king could not sleep. He told his servants to read from the book of records. They read how Mordecai had told about two men who planned to harm the king. The king asked what honor Mordecai had been given. His servants said nothing had been done for him.

Just then, Haman came into the court. He had come to ask the king to harm Mordecai. The king asked Haman what should be done for the man the king wanted to honor. Haman thought the king must mean him. So he said to give the man the king's robe and horse. A prince should lead him through the city.

Then the king told Haman to do all this for Mordecai the Jew! Haman obeyed. He put the robe on Mordecai and led him through the city on the horse. Then Haman hurried home sad. His wife and wise men said Haman would surely fall before Mordecai. Christians see God's perfect timing in this.
