2 And all the servants of the king who were at the gate of the king were bowing and prostrating themselves to Haman, for thus the king had commanded concerning him; and Mordecai would not bow and would not prostrate himself. 3 And the servants of the king who were at the gate of the king said to Mordecai, “Why are you passing over the command of the king?” 4 And it came to pass, in their speaking to him day by day, and he would not listen to them. And they declared it to Haman, to see if the words of Mordecai would stand, for he had declared to them that he was a Jew. 5 And Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing and prostrating himself to him, and Haman was filled with rage. 6 And it was despised in his eyes to stretch out a hand against Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai. And Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai. Esther 3:2-6, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
