Esther 3:1-6

1AfterH310 theseH428 eventsH1697 KingH4428 AhasuerusH325 1promotedH1431 HamanH2001, the sonH1121 of HammedathaH1992 2the AgagiteH91, and 3advancedH5375 him and 4establishedH7760 his authorityH3678 overH4480H5921 allH3605 the princesH8269 whoH834 were with him. 2AllH3605 the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 whoH834 were at the king’sH4428 gateH8179 bowedH3766 downH3766 5and paidH7812 homageH7812 to HamanH2001; for soH3651 the kingH4428 had commandedH6680 concerning him. But 6MordecaiH4782 neitherH3808 bowedH3766 downH3766 norH3808 paidH7812 homageH7812. 3Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 whoH834 were at 7the king’sH4428 gateH8179 saidH559 to MordecaiH4782, “8WhyH4069 are you transgressingH5674 the king’sH4428 commandH4687?” 4Now it was when they had spokenH559 dailyH3117 to him and he would not listenH8085 to them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001 to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 reasonH1697 would standH5975; for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064. 5When HamanH2001 sawH7200 that 9MordecaiH4782 neitherH369 bowedH3766 downH3766 norH369 paidH7812 homageH7812 to him, HamanH2001 was filledH4390 with rageH2534. 6But he 10disdainedH959H5869 to 11layH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 aloneH905, for they had toldH5046 him who the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782 were; therefore HamanH2001 12soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the JewsH3064, the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782, whoH834 were throughout the wholeH3605 kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325.
