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.
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
Then the king's
servants
,
which
were
in the king's
gate
,
said
unto Mordecai
,
Why
transgressest
thou the king's
commandment?
4
Now it came to pass, w
he
n t
he
y spake
daily
unto him, and
he
he
arkened not unto t
he
m, that t
he
y told
Haman
,
to see
w
he
t
he
r Mordecai's
matters
would stand
:
for
he
had told
t
he
m that
he
was
a Jew.
5
And when Haman
saw
that Mordecai
bowed
not, nor did him reverence,
then was Haman
full
of wrath
.
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
who
le
kingdom
of Ahasuerus
,
even
the people
of Mordecai
.
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
.
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.
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
.
10
And the king
took
his ring
from his hand
,
and gave
it unto Haman
the son
of Hammedatha
the Agagite
,
the Jews'
enemy
.
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.
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
.
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
.
14
The copy
of the writing
for a commandment
to be given
in
every
province
was published
un
to all
people
,
that they should be ready
against that day
.
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
.
