1
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.
3
:
2
And all the
king
's
servants
, that were in the
king
's
gate
,
bowed
, and
reverenced
Haman
: for the
king
had so
commanded
concerning
him. But
Mordecai
bowed
not, nor did him
reverence
.
3
:
3
Then the
king
's
servants
, which were in the
king
's
gate
,
said
unto
Mordecai
, Why
transgressest
thou the
king
's
commandment
?
3
:
4
Now it
came
to
pass
, when they
spake
daily
unto him, and he
hearkened
not unto them, that they
told
Haman
, to
see
whether
Mordecai
's
matters
would
stand
: for he had
told
them that he was a
Jew
.
3
:
5
And when
Haman
saw
that
Mordecai
bowed
not, nor did him
reverence
, then was
Haman
full
of
wrath
.
3
:
6
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
.
3
:
7
In the first
month
, that is, the
month
Nisan
, in the
twelfth
year
of
king
Ahasuerus
, they
cast
Pur
, that is, the
lot
, before
Haman
from
day
to
day
, and from
month
to
month
, to the
twelfth
month
, that is, the
month
Adar
.
3
:
8
And
Haman
said
unto
king
Ahasuerus
, There is a
certain
people
scattered
abroad
and
dispersed
among the
people
in all the
provinces
of thy
kingdom
; and their
laws
are
diverse
from all
people
; neither
keep
they the
king
's
laws
: therefore it is not for the
king
's
profit
to
suffer
them.
3
:
9
If it
please
the
king
, let it be
written
that they
may
be
destroyed
: and I will
pay
ten
thousand
talents
of
silver
to the
hands
of those that have the
charge
of the
business
, to
bring
it into the
king
's
treasuries
.
3
:
10
And the
king
took
his
ring
from his
hand
, and
gave
it unto
Haman
the
son
of
Hammedatha
the
Agagite
, the
Jews
'
enemy
.
3
:
11
And the
king
said
unto
Haman
, The
silver
is
given
to thee, the
people
also, to do with them as it
seemeth
good
to thee.
3
:
12
Then were the
king
's
scribes
called
on the
thirteenth
day
of the first
month
, and there was
written
according to all that
Haman
had
commanded
unto the
king
's
lieutenants
, and to the
governors
that were over every
province
, and to the
rulers
of every
people
of every
province
according to the
writing
thereof, and to every
people
after their
language
; in the
name
of
king
Ahasuerus
was it
written
, and
sealed
with the
king
's
ring
.
3
:
13
And the
letters
were
sent
by
posts
into all the
king
's
provinces
, to
destroy
, to
kill
, and to
cause
to
perish
, all
Jews
, both
young
and
old
,
little
children
and
women
, in one
day
, even upon the
thirteenth
day
of the
twelfth
month
, which is the
month
Adar
, and to
take
the
spoil
of them for a
prey
.
3
:
14
The
copy
of the
writing
for a
commandment
to be
given
in every
province
was
published
unto all
people
, that they should be
ready
against that
day
.
3
:
15
The
posts
went
out,
being
hastened
by the
king
's
commandment
, and the
decree
was
given
in
Shushan
the
palace
. And the
king
and
Haman
sat
down to
drink
; but the
city
Shushan
was
perplexed
.
