Greek Esther 3:2-4

Common English Bible

² Everyone at the court would kneel and bow down to Haman because the king had so ordered. But Mordecai didn’t kneel or bow down. ³ So the people at the king’s court said to him, “Mordecai, why don’t you obey the king’s command?” ⁴ Day after day they tried to speak to him, but he didn’t listen to them. So they let Haman know that Mordecai was disregarding the king’s order. Earlier Mordecai had explained to them that he was a Jew.
