Rotherham(i)
1 After these things, did King Ahasuerus promote to power Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and exalted him,––and placed his seat above all the rulers who were with him.
2 And, all the kings servants who were in the kings gate, used to bend and bow themselves down unto Haman, for, so, had the king given command concerning him,––but, Mordecai, bent not nor bowed himself down.
3 Then said the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate unto Mordecai,––
4 Wherefore art, thou, transgressing the command of the king? And it came to pass, when they had spoken unto him day by day, and he had not hearkened unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether the account of Mordecai would stand, for he had told them, that, he, was a Jew.
5 And, when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bend nor bow down unto him, then was Haman filled with wrath;
6 but, it was contemptible in his eyes, to thrust forth a hand on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai,––and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.
