5: 12. Tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king. Haman had good reason to be honored as it was rare for subject to dine with royalty. Interesting to note here that the king would recline on a couch drinking the best wine while a 'guest' would be seated on the floor and served something inferior. One wonders if the scene in 'One Night with the King' is accurate. More than likely Haman was seated on the floor at the King's feet.
