Adam Clarke, on Esth 6:6

“And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,”

“The king said unto him - He did not give him time to make his request; and put a question to him which, at the first view, promised him all that his heart could wish.”
