Haman, advanced by the king, and despised by Mordecai, seeketh revenge upon all the Jews.1 ¶ Afterº these² thingsº did kingº Ahasuerusº promoteºª² Hamanº the sonº of Hammedathaº the Agagite,º and advancedºª him, and setºª² his seatº above²² all² the princesº that² [were] with² him. 2 And all² the king'sº servants,º that² [were] in the king'sº gate,º bowed,ºª and reverencedºª Haman:º for² the kingº had so² commandedºª concerning him. But Mordecaiº bowedºª not,² nor² did [him] reverence.ºª 3 Then the king'sº servants,º which² [were] in the king'sº gate,º saidºª unto Mordecai,º Why² transgressestºª thou²² the king'sº commandment?º 4 Now it came to pass,² when they spakeºª dailyº unto² him, and he hearkenedºª not² unto² them, that they toldºª Haman,º to seeºª whether Mordecai'sº mattersº would stand:ºª for² he had toldºª them that² he² [was] a Jew.º 5 And when Hamanº sawºª that² Mordecaiº bowedºª not,² nor did him reverence,ºª then was Hamanº fullºª of wrath.º 6 And he thoughtº scornºª to layºª handsº on Mordecaiº alone;² for² they had shewedºª him² the peopleº of Mordecai:º wherefore Hamanº soughtºª to destroyºª² all² the Jewsº that² [were] throughout the whole² kingdomº of Ahasuerus,º [even] the peopleº of Mordecai.º [1] Gn 41:40, 55; Nu 24:7; 1S 15:8, 33; Ezr 7:14; Es 1:14; 7:6; Ps 12:8; Pv 29:2; Dn 6:2.

He casteth lots.7 ¶ In the firstº month,º that² [is], the monthº Nisan,º in the twelfthºº yearº of kingº Ahasuerus,º they castºª Pur,º that² [is], the lot,º beforeº Hamanº from dayº² to day,º and from monthº² to month,º [to] the twelfthºº [month], that² [is], the monthº Adar.º He obtaineth, by calumniation, a decree of the king to put the Jews to death.8 ¶ And Hamanº saidºª unto kingº Ahasuerus,º There isº a certainº peopleº scattered abroadºª and dispersedºª among² the peopleº in all² the provincesº of thy kingdom;º and their lawsº [are] diverseºª from all²² people;º neither² keepºª they the king'sº laws:º therefore it [is] not² for the king'sº profitºª to suffer¹ª² them. 9 If² it pleaseºª² the king,º let it be writtenºª that they may be destroyed:ºª and I will payºª tenº thousandº talentsº of silverº to² the handsº of those that have the chargeºª of the business,º to bringºª [it] into² the king'sº treasuries.º 10 And the kingº tookºª² his ringº from²² his hand,º and gaveºª it unto Hamanº the sonº of Hammedathaº the Agagite,º the Jews'º enemy.ºª 11 And the kingº saidºª unto Haman,º The silverº [is] givenºª to thee, the peopleº also, to doºª with them as it seemeth¹ good¹ to thee.² 12 Then were the king'sº scribesºª calledºª on the thirteenthºº dayº of the firstº month,º and there was writtenºª according to all² that² Hamanº had commandedºª unto² the king'sº lieutenants,º and to² the governorsº that² [were] over² every province,º and to² the rulersº of every peopleº of every provinceº according to the writingº thereof, and [to] every peopleº after their language;º in the nameº of kingº Ahasuerusº was it written,ºª and sealedºª with the king'sº ring.º 13 And the lettersº were sentºª byº postsºª into² all² the king'sº provinces,º to destroy,ºª to kill,ºª and to cause to perish,ºª² all² Jews,º both youngº² and² old,º little childrenº and women,º in oneº day,º [even] upon the thirteenthºº [day] of the twelfthºº month,º which² is the monthº Adar,º and [to take] the spoilº of them for a prey.ºª 14 The copyº of the writingº for a commandmentº to be givenºª in every² provinceº was publishedºª unto all² people,º that they should be² readyº against that² day.º 15 The postsºª went out,ºª being hastenedºª by the king'sº commandment,º and the decreeº was givenºª in Shushanº the palace.º And the kingº and Hamanº sat downºª to drink;ºª but the cityº Shushanº was perplexed.ºª [8] Lv 26:33; Dt 4:27; 30:3; 32:26; Ezr 4:12; Ne 1:8; Jr 50:17; Ezk 6:8; 11:16; Zc 7:14; Jn 7:35; Ac 16:20; 17:6; 24:5; 28:22; Jm 1:1; 1P 1:1.
