And all the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate were kneeling and bowing down to Haman, for the king had so commanded for him. But Mordecai did not bow down and did not kneel.
And he caused him to ride in a chariot which was the second to him. And they cried before him, Bow the knee! And he put him over all the land of Egypt.
In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who guarded the threshold, were angry, and sought to stretch out a hand against King Ahasuerus.
And Haman went out that day joyful and good of heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai in the gate of the king, that he did not rise or move for him, he was full of fury against Mordecai.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this, a memorial in a book, and set it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek under the heavens.
And Daniel asked of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
And it shall be, when Jehovah your God gives you rest from all your enemies round about in the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you as an inheritance to possess it, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; you shall not forget.
Now go, and you strike Amalek and destroy all that is to him, and you shall have no pity on him, but cause to die all, from man to woman, from child to suckling, from ox to sheep, from camel to ass.
