The Arrogance Of Haman - Esther 5:9-14

Esther has now had the king and Haman to a banquet and requested the presence of both on the following day for another banquet. While we do not know all the reasons for Esther's delay in telling the king her request, we do know God had a plan to destroy Haman. The passage we will examine gives us the events that transpired after the banquet from Haman's perspective. He leaves the banquet feeling high and mighty until he goes by the gate and sees Mordecai. He goes home and rehearses the recent events to his wife and friends. Haman is a man that is filled with pride. We must learn that pride brings destruction.
