Esther 3:1-3

Darby Translation

3 After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

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?
