Esther 3:2-6

2And all the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, that were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, bowedH3766, and paid honour toH7812 HamanH2001: for the kingH4428 had so commandedH6680 concerning him. But MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766 not, nor did pay him honourH7812. 3Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, who were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, saidH559 to MordecaiH4782, Why dost thou transgressH5674 the king’sH4428 commandmentH4687? 4Now it came to pass, when they spokeH559 dailyH3117 to him, and he hearkenedH8085 not to them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001, to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 reasonH1697 would standH5975: for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064. 5And when HamanH2001 sawH7200 that MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766 not, nor did pay him honourH7812, then was HamanH2001 fullH4390 of wrathH2534. 6And he disdainedH5869H959 to layH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 alone; for they had made known toH5046 him the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782: therefore HamanH2001 soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 all the JewsH3064 that were throughout the whole kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325, even the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782.
