     * and with a great crown.
       Mordecai was now made the chief minister, or vizier, instead
       of Haman; and was accordingly invested with the "royal
       apparel," in conformity to the custom of the East.  So we are
       informed, in the History of the Revolt of Ali Bey, that on the
       election of a new {sheikh bellet,} or chief of the country, in
       Egypt, the {pasha} who approves of him invests him with a robe
       of valuable fur.  Perhaps the crown was one of the insignia of
       the office of vizier.  Concerning the blue, fine linen, and
       purple, see the Notes on Ex 25:4; 39:27.

     * the city.
       Haman was too proud to be popular:  few lamented his fall.
