But Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did him reverence. 3 Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why disobey you the king's commandment? 4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn't listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told those who he was a Jew. 5 When Haman saw that Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. 6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
