And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 6 of Esther. The king asks Haman what should be done for the man whom he wishes to honor. Haman, believing the man is himself, proposes an extraordinary ceremony involving royal robes, a horse, and public proclamation. The scene reveals the depth of his pride and prepares the humiliating reversal of his expectations.
