Esther 3:2-4
New Life Version
2 All the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate bowed down and gave honor to Haman, for the king had said that this should be done. But Mordecai did not bow down or give him honor. 3 Then the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why are you not obeying the king?” 4 They spoke to him each day, but he would not listen to them. So they told Haman to see if Mordecai’s reason was good enough. For he had told them that he was a Jew.

3 Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?”(A) 4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply.(B) Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.
