*
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite ,
and advanced him ,
and set his seat above all the princes that were with him .
*
And all the kings servants ,
that were in the kings gate sha #
ar #,
bowed ,
and reverenced Haman :
for the king had so commanded concerning him .
But Mordecai bowed not ,
nor did him reverence .
*
Then the kings servants ,
which were in the kings gate sha #
ar #,
said unto Mordecai ,
Why transgressest thou the kings commandment ?
*
Now it came to pass ,
when they spake daily yowm #
unto him ,
and he hearkened not unto them ,
that they told Haman ,
to see whether Mordecais matters would stand :
for he had told them that he was a Jew .
*
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not ,
nor did him reverence ,
then was Haman full of wrath .
*
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone ;
for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai :
wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus ,
even the people of Mordecai .
