Esther 3:2-3

2All the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate [in royal service] bowed down and honored and paid homage to Haman; for this is what the king had commanded in regard to him. But Mordecai [a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin] neither bowed down nor paid homage [to him].

3Then the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why are you disregarding the king’s command?”
