Esther 6:3
"And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the king said, what honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this?.... He judged it an action worthy of regard, and what ought to be rewarded, as

it was the saving of his life; but had forgot whether any royal favour had been shown to the person for it: then said the king's servants that ministered unto him; the lords of his bedchamber then in waiting: there is nothing done for him; not on that account, nothing more than what he had; he had an office at court before, but was not advanced to anything higher on this account.
