Esther 3:2-6

CAB(i) 2 And everyone in the palace bowed down to him, for so the king had given orders to do; but Mordecai did not bow down to him. 3 And those in the king's palace said to Mordecai, Mordecai, why do you transgress the commands of the king? 4 Thus they spoke daily to him, but he hearkened not unto them; so they told it to Haman that Mordecai resisted the commands of the king; and Mordecai had shown to them that he was a Jew. 5 And when Haman understood that Mordecai did not bow down to him, he was greatly enraged, 6 and took counsel to utterly destroy all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.
