After
these
events
King
Ahasuerus
promoted
Haman,
the son
of Hammedatha
the Agagite,
and advanced
him and established
his authority
over
all
the princes
who
were with him.
2
All
the king
's
servants
who
were at
the king
's
gate
bowed
down
and paid
homage
to Haman;
for so
the king
had commanded
concerning him. But Mordecai
neither
bowed
down
nor
paid
homage
.
3
Then
the king's
servants
who
were at
the king's
gate
said
to Mordecai,
"Why
are you transgressing
the king's
command?"
4
Now it was when they had spoken
daily
to him and he would not listen
to them, that they told
Haman
to see
whether Mordecai's
reason
would stand;
for he had told
them that he was a Jew.
5
When Haman
saw
that Mordecai
neither
bowed down
nor
paid homage
to him, Haman
was filled
with rage.
6
But he disdained
to lay
hands
on Mordecai
alone,
for they had told
him
who
the people
of Mordecai
were; therefore Haman
sought
to destroy
all
the Jews,
the people
of Mordecai
,
who
were throughout the
who
le
kingdom
of Ahasuerus.
7
In the first
month,
which
is the month
Nisan,
in the twelfth
year
of King
Ahasuerus,
Pur,
that is the lot,
was cast
before
Haman
from day
to day
and from month
to
month,
until the twelfth
month,
that
is the month
Adar.
8
Then Haman
said
to King
Ahasuerus,
"There
is a certain
people
scattered
and dispersed
among
the
people
s
in all
the provinces
of your kingdom;
their laws
are different
from those of all
other
people
and they do not observe
the king's
laws,
so it is not in
the king's
interest
to let them remain.
9
"If
it is pleasing
to the king,
let it be decreed
that they be destroyed,
and I will pay
ten
thousand
talents
of silver
into the hands
of those who carry
on the king's business,
to put
into the king's treasuries."
10
Then the king
took
his signet ring
from his hand
and gave
it to Haman,
the son
of Hammedatha
the Agagite,
the enemy
of the Jews.
11
The king
said
to Haman,
"The silver
is yours,
and the people
also, to do
with them as you please."
12
Then the king's
scribes
were summoned
on the thirteenth
day
of the first
month,
and it was written
just
as Haman
commanded
to the king's
satraps,
to the governors
who
were over
each
province
and to the princes
of
each
people
,
each
province
according to its script,
each
people
according to its language,
being written
in the name
of King
Ahasuerus
and sealed
with the king's
signet ring.
13
Letters
were sent
by couriers
to
all
the king's
provinces
to destroy,
to kill
and to annihilate
all
the Jews,
both
young
and old,
women
and children,
in one
day,
the thirteenth
day of the twelfth
month,
which
is the month
Adar,
and to seize
their possessions
as plunder.
14
A copy
of the edict
to be issued
as law
in every
province
was published
to all
the peoples
so that they should be ready
for this
day.
15
The couriers
went
out impelled
by the king's
command
while the decree
was issued
at the citadel
in Susa;
and while the king
and Haman
sat down
to drink,
the city
of Susa
was in confusion.
