haman <EST3 -1> 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.


haman <EST3 -2> 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.


haman <EST3 -4> 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.


haman <EST3 -5> And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor

did him reverence, then was {Haman} full of wrath.


haman <EST3 -5> And when {Haman} saw that Mordecai bowed not,

nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.


haman <EST3 -6> And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai

alone; for they had showed 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.


haman <EST3 -7> 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.


haman <EST3 -8> 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.


haman <EST3 -10> And the king took his ring from his hand, and

gave it unto {Haman} the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the

Jews' enemy.


haman <EST3 -11> 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.


haman <EST3 -12> Then were the king's scribes called on the

thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written

according to all that {Haman} had commanded unto the king's

lieutenants, and to the governors that [were] over every

province, and to the


rulers of every people of every province according to the

writing thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in

the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the

king's ring.


haman <EST3 -15> The posts went out, being hastened by the

king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the

palace. And the king and {Haman} sat down to drink; but the city

Shushan was perplexed.


haman <EST4 -7> And Mordecai told him of all that had happened

unto him, and of the sum of the money that {Haman} had promised

to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.


haman <EST5 -4> And Esther answered, If [it seem] good unto the

king, let the king and {Haman} come this day unto the banquet

that I have prepared for him.


haman <EST5 -5> Then the king said, Cause {Haman} to make haste,

that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came

to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


haman <EST5 -5> Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste,

that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and {Haman} came

to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


haman <EST5 -8> If I have found favour in the sight of the king,

and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform

my request, let the king and {Haman} come to the banquet that I

shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hat


h said.


haman <EST5 -9> Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a

glad heart: but when {Haman} saw Mordecai in the king's gate,

that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of

indignation against Mordecai.


haman <EST5 -9> Then went {Haman} forth that day joyful and with

a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate,

that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of

indignation against Mordecai.


haman <EST5 -10> Nevertheless {Haman} refrained himself: and

when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and

Zeresh his wife.


haman <EST5 -11> And {Haman} told them of the glory of his

riches, and the multitude of his children, and all [the things]

wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him

above the princes and servants of the king.


haman <EST5 -12> {Haman} said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen

did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she

had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her

also with the king.


haman <EST5 -14> Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends

unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to

morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged

thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.

And th


e thing pleased {Haman}; and he caused the gallows to be made.


haman <EST6 -4> And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now

{Haman} was come into the outward court of the king's house, to

speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had

prepared for him.


haman <EST6 -5> And the king's servants said unto him, Behold,

{Haman} standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come

in.


haman <EST6 -6> So {Haman} came in. And the king said unto him,

What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to

honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king

delight to do honour more than to myself?


haman <EST6 -6> So Haman came in. And the king said unto him,

What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to

honour? Now {Haman} thought in his heart, To whom would the king

delight to do honour more than to myself?


haman <EST6 -7> And {Haman} answered the king, For the man whom

the king delighteth to honour,


haman <EST6 -10> Then the king said to {Haman}, Make haste,

[and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do

even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate:

let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.


haman <EST6 -11> Then took {Haman} the apparel and the horse,

and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the

street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be

done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.


haman <EST6 -12> And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But

{Haman} hasted to his house mourning, and having his head

covered.


haman <EST6 -13> And {Haman} told Zeresh his wife and all his

friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise

men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed

of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not

p


revail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.


haman <EST6 -14> And while they [were] yet talking with him,

came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring {Haman} unto

the banquet that Esther had prepared.


haman <EST7 -1> So the king and {Haman} came to banquet with

Esther the queen.


haman <EST7 -6> And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is]

this wicked {Haman}. Then Haman was afraid before the king and

the queen.


haman <EST7 -6> And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is]

this wicked Haman. Then {Haman} was afraid before the king and

the queen.


haman <EST7 -7> And the king arising from the banquet of wine in

his wrath [went] into the palace garden: and {Haman} stood up to

make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that

there was evil determined against him by the king.


haman <EST7 -8> Then the king returned out of the palace garden

into the place of the banquet of wine; and {Haman} was fallen

upon the bed whereon Esther [was]. Then said the king, Will he

force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went

out


of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.


haman <EST7 -9> And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said

before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high,

which {Haman} had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the

king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang

him th


ereon.


haman <EST7 -9> And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said

before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high,

which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the

king, standeth in the house of {Haman}. Then the king said, Hang

him th


ereon.


haman <EST7 -10> So they hanged {Haman} on the gallows that he

had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.


haman <EST8 -1> On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the

house of {Haman} the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And

Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was]

unto her.


haman <EST8 -2> And the king took off his ring, which he had

taken from {Haman}, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set

Mordecai over the house of Haman.


haman <EST8 -2> And the king took off his ring, which he had

taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set

Mordecai over the house of {Haman}.


haman <EST8 -3> And Esther spake yet again before the king, and

fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away

the mischief of {Haman} the Agagite, and his device that he had

devised against the Jews.


haman <EST8 -5> And said, If it please the king, and if I have

found favour in his sight, and the thing [seem] right before the

king, and I [be] pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to

reverse the letters devised by {Haman} the son of Hammedatha the

Ag


agite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which [are] in all the

king's provinces:


haman <EST8 -7> Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the

queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the

house of {Haman}, and him they have hanged upon the gallows,

because he laid his hand upon the Jews.


haman <EST9 -10> The ten sons of {Haman} the son of Hammedatha,

the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not

their hand.


haman <EST9 -12> And the king said unto Esther the queen, The

Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the

palace, and the ten sons of {Haman}; what have they done in the

rest of the king's provinces? now what [is] thy petition? and it

sh


all be granted thee: or what [is] thy request further? and it

shall be done.


haman <EST9 -24> Because {Haman} the son of Hammedatha, the

Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews

to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that [is], the lot, to

consume them, and to destroy them;
