Esther 3:3 Context
1After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman, the sonne of Amedatha the Agagite, and aduanced him, and set his seate aboue all the princes that were with him. 2And all the kings seruants, that were in the kings gate, bowed, and reuerenced Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him: but Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reuerence. 3Then the kings seruants, which were in the kings gate, sayd vnto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the kings commandement? 4Now it came to passe, when they spake daily vnto him, and he hearkened not vnto them; that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai his matters would stand, for he had told them that he was a Iewe. 5And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reuerence, then was Haman full of wrath.
