Esther 3:1-3 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite...
all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman...
Mordecai bowed not...
the king's servants- said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
Esther 3:4-6 ... he hearkened not unto them- for he had told them that he was a Jew...
when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not...then was Haman full of wrath -
he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai-
Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur...
Esther 3:8-11 Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people ... in all the provinces of thy kingdom-
their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws- it is not for the king's profit to suffer them....
let it be written that they may be destroyed...
the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman ...the Jews' enemy...
the king said... The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
Esther 3:12-15 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 ...
to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring....
letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews...
The posts went out...and the decree was given in Shushan the palace-
the king and Haman sat down to drink-the city Shushan was perplexed.

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.
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.
3: Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
Esther 3:4-6 ... he hearkened not unto them- for he had told them that he was a Jew... when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not...then was Haman full of wrath - he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai- Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
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.
5: And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
6: 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.

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.
Esther 3:8-11 Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people ... in all the provinces of thy kingdom- their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws- it is not for the king's profit to suffer them....let it be written that they may be destroyed...the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman ...the Jews' enemy...the king said... The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
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.
9: 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.
10: And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
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.
Esther 3:12-15 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 ... to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring....letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews...The posts went out...and the decree was given in Shushan the palace-the king and Haman sat down to drink-the city Shushan was perplexed.
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.
13: And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
14: The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
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.
The Book of Esther, also known in Hebrew as "the Scroll" (Megillah), is a book in the third section (Ketuvim, "Writings") of the Jewish Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) and in the Christian Old Testament. It relates the story of a Hebrew girl in Persia, born as Hadassah but known as Esther, who becomes queen of Persia and thwarts a genocide of her people. The story forms the core of the Jewish festival of Purim, during which it is read aloud twice: once in the evening and again the following morning. Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God.

HAMAN
Haman (Also known as Haman the Agagite המן האגגי, or Haman the evil המן הרשע) is the main antagonist in the Book of Esther, who, according to the Hebrew Bible, was a vizier in the Persian empire under King Ahasuerus, traditionally identified as Xerxes I. As his name indicates, Haman was a descendant of Agag, the king of the Amalekites, a people who were wiped out in certain areas by King Saul and David.
