Esther 3:5-6

5When Haman saw that 1Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid 2homage to him, Haman was filled with rage. 6But he 3considered it beneath his dignity to 4kill Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; so Haman 5sought to annihilate all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were found throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
