Esther 3:3-6 The other officials in the royal service asked him

Question in the Bible

why he was disobeying the king's command:

day after day they urged him to give in, but he would not listen to them.

Answer in the Bible

"I am a Jew," he explained "and I cannot bow to Haman." So they told Haman about this, wondering if he would tolerate Mordecai conduct.

Haman was furious when he realized that Mordecai was not going to kneel and bow to him,

and when he learned that Mordecai was a Jew, he decided to do more than punish Mordecai alone. He made plans to kill every Jew in the whole Persian Empire.
