Esther 3:5 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Esther 3:5

3 Then the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the ^aking’s command?”

4 Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

5 When Haman saw that Mordecai ^adid not bow or pay him homage, Haman was ^bfilled with wrath.

6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman ^asought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai.

7 In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, ^athey cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the² month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.
