Esther 3:2-4

Darby Translation

² And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate bowed and did Haman reverence, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.

³ Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

⁴ And it came to pass as they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
