    1After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

    2And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.

    3Then the king's servants who were in the king's house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king's order?

    4Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.

    5And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.

    6But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

    10Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.

    11Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

    13But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.

    8Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was.
