King James Version
After these things hath
the
king Ahasuerus exalted
Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth
him up
, and setteth
his throne
above all the heads
who
`are'
with him ,
After these things did
king Ahasuerus promote
Haman the
son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced
him, and set
his seat
above all the princes
that
were
with him .
and all servants
of
the king
, who
`are'
in the gate of
the
king
, are
bowing
and doing
obeisance
to
Haman ,
for so
hath
the king commanded for
him ;
and
Mordecai doth
not bow
nor do
obeisance
.
And all the king's
servants
, that
were
in the king's
gate, bowed,
and reverenced
Haman :
for the king had
so
commanded concerning
him .
But
Mordecai bowed
not ,
nor did
him
reverence
.
And
the servants of
the
king
, who
`are'
in the gate of
the
king
, say
to
Mordecai, `Wherefore
`art'
thou transgressing
the command
of
the
king
? '
Then
the king's
servants, which
were
in the king's
gate, said
unto
Mordecai, Why
transgressest
thou the king's
commandment
?
And
it cometh
to pass, in
their
speaking
unto him, day
by
day,
and he hath
not
hearkened unto them, that they declare
`it'
to
Haman, to see whether the
words
of
Mordecai
do
stand ,
for he hath
declared
to
them that he `is'
a Jew.
Now
it came
to pass, when
they
spake
daily
unto him, and he hearkened not
unto them, that they told
Haman, to see whether Mordecai's
matters
would
stand :
for he had
told
them that he was
a Jew.
And Haman seeth
that Mordecai is
not bowing
and
doing
obeisance
to
him, and
Haman is
full of fury,
And when
Haman saw
that Mordecai bowed
not ,
nor
did
him reverence
, then
was
Haman full of wrath.
and it
is
contemptible
in
his
eyes
to put
forth
a
hand
on Mordecai by
himself,
for they have
declared
to
him the people of Mordecai ,
and
Haman seeketh
to destroy all the Jews who
`are'
in
all
the kingdom of Ahasuerus --
the people of Mordecai.
And he
thought
scorn
to lay
hands
on Mordecai alone;
for they had
shewed
him the people of Mordecai :
wherefore
Haman sought
to destroy all the Jews that
were
throughout
the whole
kingdom of Ahasuerus ,
even
the people of Mordecai.
In the first month --
it
`
is '
the month of
Nisan --
in the twelfth year of the
king Ahasuerus, hath
one
caused
to
fall
Pur (
that `
is '
the lot )
before Haman ,
from day to day, and from month to month, `
to '
the twelfth, it
`
is '
the month of
Adar.
In the first month ,
that
is ,
the month Nisan ,
in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they
cast
Pur ,
that is ,
the lot ,
before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month
, that
is ,
the month Adar.
And Haman saith
to
the
king Ahasuerus, `
There is one
people scattered and separated
among the peoples,
in all provinces of thy kingdom ,
and their laws `
are '
diverse from all people ,
and
the
laws
of
the
king
they are
not
doing,
and
for
the king
it is not profitable
to suffer them ;
And Haman said
unto
king Ahasuerus, There is a
certain
people scattered abroad
and dispersed
among the people
in all the
provinces of thy kingdom ;
and their laws are diverse from all people ;
neither
keep
they the king's
laws:
therefore
it is not for
the
king's
profit
to suffer them .
if to
the king `it
be'
good
, let it be written to
destroy
them,
and ten thousand talents of silver I
weigh
into
the hands of those doing
the work
, to bring `
it '
in
unto
the treasuries of
the
king
. '
If it
please
the king, let it be written that
they
may
be
destroyed:
and I
will
pay
ten thousand talents of silver to
the hands of those that
have
the charge
of
the
business
, to bring it into
the king's
treasuries.
And the king turneth
aside
his signet
from off
his hand, and giveth
it to
Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary
of
the Jews ;
And the king took
his ring
from his hand, and gave
it unto
Haman the
son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews '
enemy.
and the king saith
to
Haman, `
The silver is given to thee, and
the people, to do with it
as `
it is'
good in
thine
eyes
. '
And the king said
unto
Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also
, to do with them
as it seemeth
good to
thee
.
