    7And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,

    8Let the royal robe be brought which the king wears, and the horse that the king rides on, and the royal crown which is set on his head:

    9And let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor, and lead him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

    10Then the king said to Haman, Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.

    11Then Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

    2And all the king's servants who were in the king's gate bowed and reverenced Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow, nor did he show reverence.

    3Then the king's servants who were in the king's gate said to Mordecai, "Why do you transgress the king's commandment?"

    5And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow nor show him reverence, then Haman was full of wrath.

    6And he thought it scornful to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had shown him the people of Mordecai. Therefore, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
