Esther 3:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 All the king’s servants who were at the royal gate would kneel and bow down to Haman, for that is what the king had ordered in his regard.(A) Mordecai, however, would not kneel and bow down.[a] 3 The king’s servants who were at the royal gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s order?”(B) 4 When they had reminded him day after day and he would not listen to them, they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s explanation would prevail, since he had told them that he was a Jew.
