Esther 3:8-9
Excerpted from: Old Testament: Fruit of the Spirit (Part Three)Having the ear of the king, he began craftily describing Mordecai's people as those who do not keep the law of the king. The king obviously trusted Haman's judgment and the decree was written, signed into law, sealed by the king's signet ring—and Haman thought he had won. We find in verse 15 that Haman sat down with the king, celebrating his victory no doubt, and patting himself on the back with coming up with such a brilliant plan. Whispering in the king's ear, if you will, Haman had successfully manipulated the king. And now he sat down with the king to celebrate what he thought was a wonderful plan to eliminate not only this pesky Jew, Mordecai, who was a thorn in his side, but he was going to get rid of the Jews once and for all.
