Chapter Three After these things did King
Ahasuerus promote Haman, the son of

00:05.640 --> 00:10.260
Hamadatha the Agagite, and advanced him,
and set his seat above all the princes

00:10.260 --> 00:10.980
that were with him.

00:11.620 --> 00:15.160
And all the king's servants that were in
the king's gate bowed and reverenced

00:15.160 --> 00:18.360
Haman, for the king had so commanded
concerning him.

00:18.920 --> 00:21.860
But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him
reverence.

00:22.360 --> 00:25.680
Then the king's servants which were in the
king's gate said unto Mordecai,

00:25.820 --> 00:28.180
Why transgressest thou the king's
commandment?

00:28.180 --> 00:32.560
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily
unto him, and he hearkened not unto them,

00:32.840 --> 00:36.100
that they told Haman to see whether
Mordecai's matters would stand.

00:36.840 --> 00:38.760
For he had told them that he was a Jew.

00:39.580 --> 00:44.080
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed
not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman

00:44.080 --> 00:44.880
full of wrath.

00:45.540 --> 00:49.240
And he thought scorned to lay hands on
Mordecai alone, for they had showed him

00:49.240 --> 00:50.240
the people of Mordecai.

00:51.260 --> 00:54.480
Wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the
Jews that were throughout the whole

00:54.480 --> 00:57.840
kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of
Mordecai.

00:59.160 --> 01:02.860
In the first month, that is the month
Nisan, in the twelfth year of King

01:02.860 --> 01:08.360
Ahasuerus, they cast pure, that is the
lot, before Haman from day to day and from

01:08.360 --> 01:11.740
month to month, to the twelfth month,
that is the month Adar.

01:12.400 --> 01:16.920
And Haman said unto King Ahasuerus,
There is a certain people scattered abroad

01:16.920 --> 01:21.380
and dispersed among the people in all the
provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws

01:21.380 --> 01:23.060
are diverse from all people.

01:23.060 --> 01:27.840
Neither keep they the king's laws,
therefore it is not for the king's prophet

01:27.840 --> 01:28.740
to suffer them.

01:29.380 --> 01:34.480
If it please the king, let it be written
that they may be destroyed, and I will pay

01:34.480 --> 01:38.960
ten thousand talents of silver to the
hands of those that have the charge of the

01:38.960 --> 01:42.180
business, to bring it into the king's
treasuries.

01:42.740 --> 01:46.340
And the king took his ring from his hand,
and gave it unto Haman the son of

01:46.340 --> 01:48.860
Hamadetha, the Agagite, the Jew's enemy.

01:49.640 --> 01:53.620
And the king said unto Haman, The silver
is given to thee, the people also,

01:53.820 --> 01:55.900
to do with them as it seemeth good to
thee.

01:56.240 --> 01:59.500
Then were the king's scribes called on the
thirteenth day of the first month,

02:00.040 --> 02:03.300
and there was written according to all
that Haman had commanded unto the king's

02:03.300 --> 02:07.060
lieutenants, and to the governors that
were over every province, and to the

02:07.060 --> 02:10.300
rulers of every people of every province
according to the writing thereof,

02:10.780 --> 02:12.480
and to every people after their language.

02:13.140 --> 02:17.000
In the name of King Ahasuerus was it
written, and sealed with the king's ring.

02:17.460 --> 02:22.100
And the letters were sent by posts into
all the king's provinces, to destroy,

02:22.500 --> 02:27.500
to kill, and to cause to perish all Jews,
both young and old, little children and

02:27.500 --> 02:31.500
women, in one day, even upon the
thirteenth day of the twelfth month,

02:31.880 --> 02:35.400
which is the month Adar, and to take the
spoil of them for a prey.

02:36.060 --> 02:40.000
The copy of the writing for a commandment
to be given in every province was

02:40.000 --> 02:43.200
published unto all people, that they
should be ready against that day.

02:43.200 --> 02:47.960
The posts went out, being hastened by the
king's commandment, and the decree was

02:47.960 --> 02:49.340
given in Shushan the palace.

02:50.100 --> 02:54.580
And the king and Haman sat down to drink,
but the city Shushan was perplexed.
