Esther 6 reports the moment when King Ahasuero could not sleep and had the book of the chronicles to be read to him. In this book, he discovered that Mordecai, who had saved his life, had not yet received any honor or recognition. The chapter then follows the account of what the king did to honor Mordecai. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Esther 6:

Proverbs 3:35: "The wise will inherit honor, but the fools take over themselves ignominia." King Ahasuero recognizes that Mordecai is a wise and worthy man, and decides to honor him publicly.

1 Samuel 2:30: "Therefore, the Lord says, the God of Israel, In fact, I had said that thy house and the house of your Father would walk before me perpetually; but now the Lord says, far from me, such Thing, because to those who honor me, but those who despise me will be despised. " King Ahasuero decides to honor Mordeque for saving his life, and thus fulfill the divine principle of honoring those who honor him.

Philippians 2:9: "For which God also exalted him sovereignly and gave him a name that is on every name." Just as God exalted Jesus for his obedience and humility, King Ahasuero exalts Mordoca for his faithfulness and courage.

Colossians 3:23-24: "And whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the reward of inheritance, because the Lord, the Lord, Servis." Mordecai served King Ahasuero faithfully, and even if the king had not honored him, he knew that his true reward would come from the Lord.

2 Timothy 2:20-21: "Now, in a large house there are not only gold and silver utensils, but also of wood and clay; some, for honor; others, but for dishonor. So, then, if anyone Himself cleansing itself from these errors will be an utensil for honor, sanctified and useful to its possessor, being prepared for every good work. " Mordecai is an utensil for honor in the hands of God, and King Ahasuero recognized this and publicly honored him.
