Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!'"

KJV

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.

Commentary

And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes,.... The one: that they may array the man withal whom the king d elighteth to honour; and the other to be led in state before him: and bring him on horseback through the street of the city; on another horse, that all might see what honour was done him: and proclaim before him; as before Joseph, when advanced next to Pharaoh, Gen 41:43 this was not to be done by an herald, but by a nobleman, to whom the apparel and horse were to be delivered, and was done by Haman, Est 6:11 , thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour; these were the words said in the proclamation, signifying this was the man the king delighted to honour, and this the manner in which he would have it done.
