Esther 6:12

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And Mordecai came again to the king`s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered." — Esther 6:12 (ASV)

It is quite consistent with Eastern customs that Mordecai, after receiving the extraordinary honors assigned to him, should return to the palace and resume his former humble employment.
