Esther 7-9

1 On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. 2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.

I am amazed that the King promoted Haman to the top position and yet took it all away again in a moment's wrath. Of course the hand of God was in it, and Haman's fall began the moment his pride caused him to pursue petty vendettas rather than the good for which he was employed.
