Esther 3:1-2

1After these events King Ahasuerus 1promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha 2the Agagite, and 3advanced him and 4established his authority over all the princes who were with him.

2All the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate bowed down 5and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But 6Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.
