Chapter 3
After
these
things
did
king
Ahasuerus
promote
Haman,
the
sonne
of
Amedatha
the
Agagite,
and
aduanced
him,
and
set
his
seate
aboue
all
the
princes
that
were
with
him.
2
And
all
the
kings
seruants,
that
were
in
the
kings
gate,
bowed,
and
reuerenced
Haman,
for
the
king
had
so
commanded
concerning
him:
but
Mordecai
bowed
not,
nor
did
him
reuerence.
3
Then
the
kings
seruants,
which
were
in
the
kings
gate,
sayd
vnto
Mordecai,
Why
transgressest
thou
the
kings
commandement?
4
Now
it
came
to
passe,
when
they
spake
daily
vnto
him,
and
he
hearkened
not
vnto
them;
that
they
told
Haman,
to
see
whether
Mordecai
his
matters
would
stand,
for
he
had
told
them
that
he
was
a
Iewe.
5
And
when
Haman
saw
that
Mordecai
bowed
not,
nor
did
him
reuerence,
then
was
Haman
full
of
wrath.
6
And
hee
thought
scorne
to
lay
hands
on
Mordecai
alone,
for
they
had
shewed
him
the
people
of
Mordecai:
wherefore
Haman
sought
to
destroy
all
the
Iewes,
that
were
throughout
the
whole
kingdome
of
Ahasuerus,
euen
the
people
of
Mordecai.
7
In
the
first
moneth
(that
is,
the
moneth
Nisan)
in
the
twelfth
yeere
of
king
Ahasuerus,
they
cast
Pur,
that
is,
the
lot,
before
Haman,
from
day
to
day,
and
from
moneth
to
moneth,
to
the
twelfth
moneth,
that
is
the
moneth
Adar.
8
And
Haman
saide
vnto
king
Ahasuerus:
There
is
a
certaine
people
scattered
abroad,
and
dispersed
among
the
people,
in
all
the
prouinces
of
thy
kingdome,
and
their
lawes
are
diuerse
from
all
people,
neither
keepe
they
the
kings
lawes;
therefore
it
is
not
for
the
kings
profit
to
suffer
them.
9
If
it
please
the
king,
let
it
be
written,
that
they
may
be
destroyed:
and
I
will
pay
ten
thousand
talents
of
siluer
to
the
handes
of
those
that
haue
the
charge
of
the
businesse,
to
bring
it
into
the
kings
treasuries.
10
And
the
king
tooke
his
ring
from
his
hand,
and
gaue
it
vnto
Haman
the
sonne
of
Ammedatha
the
Agagite,
the
Iewes
enemie.
11
And
the
king
saide
vnto
Haman,
The
siluer
is
giuen
to
thee,
the
people
also,
to
doe
with
them,
as
it
seemeth
good
to
thee.
12
Then
were
the
kings
scribes
called
on
the
thirteenth
day
of
the
first
moneth,
and
there
was
written,
according
to
all
that
Haman
had
commanded,
vnto
the
kings
Lieutenants,
and
to
the
gouernours,
that
were
ouer
euery
prouince,
and
to
the
rulers
of
euery
people
of
euery
prouince,
according
to
the
writing
thereof,
and
to
euery
people,
after
their
language,
in
the
name
of
king
Ahasuerus
was
it
written,
and
sealed
with
the
kings
ring.
13
And
the
letters
were
sent
by
posts
into
all
the
kings
prouinces,
to
destroy,
to
kill,
and
to
cause
to
perish
all
Iewes,
both
yong
and
olde,
litle
children
and
women,
in
one
day,
euen
vpon
the
thirteenth
day
of
the
twelfth
moneth
(which
is
the
moneth
Adar)
and
to
take
the
spoile
of
them
for
a
pray.
14
The
copie
of
the
writing
for
a
commandement
to
bee
giuen
in
euery
prouince,
was
published
vnto
all
people,
that
they
should
bee
ready
against
that
day.
15
The
postes
went
out,
being
hastened
by
the
kings
commandement,
and
the
decree
was
giuen
in
Shushan
the
palace:
and
the
king
and
Haman
sate
downe
to
drinke,
but
the
citie
Shushan
was
perplexed.
