1 H310 After H1697 these things H4428 did king H325 Ahasuerus H1431 promote [H8765] H2001 Haman H1121 the son H4099 of Hammedatha H91 the Agagite H5375 , and advanced [H8762] H7760 him, and set [H8799] H3678 his seat H8269 above all the princes that were with him.

2 H4428 And all the king's H5650 servants H4428 , that were in the king's H8179 gate H3766 , bowed [H8802] H7812 , and reverenced [H8693] H2001 Haman H4428 : for the king H6680 had so commanded [H8765] H4782 concerning him. But Mordecai H3766 bowed [H8799] H7812 not, nor did him reverence [H8691] .

3 H4428 Then the king's H5650 servants H4428 , which were in the king's H8179 gate H559 , said [H8799] H4782 unto Mordecai H5674 , Why transgressest [H8802] H4428 thou the king's H4687 commandment?

4 H559 Now it came to pass, when they spake [H8800] H3117 daily H3117 H8085 unto him, and he hearkened [H8804] H5046 not unto them, that they told [H8686] H2001 Haman H7200 , to see [H8800] H4782 whether Mordecai's H1697 matters H5975 would stand [H8799] H5046 : for he had told [H8689] H3064 them that he was a Jew.

5 H2001 And when Haman H7200 saw [H8799] H4782 that Mordecai H3766 bowed [H8802] H7812 not, nor did him reverence [H8693] H2001 , then was Haman H4390 full [H8735] H2534 of wrath.

6 H5869 And he thought H959 scorn [H8799] H7971 to lay [H8800] H3027 hands H4782 on Mordecai H5046 alone; for they had shewed [H8689] H5971 him the people H4782 of Mordecai H2001 : wherefore Haman H1245 sought [H8762] H8045 to destroy [H8687] H3064 all the Jews H4438 that were throughout the whole kingdom H325 of Ahasuerus H5971 , even the people H4782 of Mordecai.
