King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. After[H310] these[H428] things[H1697] did king[H4428] Ahasuerus[H325] promote[H1431] [H853] Haman[H2001] the son[H1121] of Hammedatha[H4099] the Agagite,[H91] and advanced[H5375] him, and set[H7760] [H853] his seat[H3678] above[H4480] [H5921] all[H3605] the princes[H8269] that[H834] were with[H854] him.

2. And all[H3605] the king's[H4428] servants,[H5650] that[H834] were in the king's[H4428] gate,[H8179] bowed,[H3766] and reverenced[H7812] Haman:[H2001] for[H3588] the king[H4428] had so[H3651] commanded[H6680] concerning him. But Mordecai[H4782] bowed[H3766] not,[H3808] nor[H3808] did him reverence.[H7812]

3. Then the king's[H4428] servants,[H5650] which[H834] were in the king's[H4428] gate,[H8179] said[H559] unto Mordecai,[H4782] Why[H4069] transgressest[H5674] thou[H859] [H853] the king's[H4428] commandment?[H4687]

4. Now it came to pass,[H1961] when they spoke[H559] daily[H3117] [H3117] unto[H413] him, and he hearkened[H8085] not[H3808] unto[H413] them, that they told[H5046] Haman,[H2001] to see[H7200] whether Mordecai's[H4782] matters[H1697] would stand:[H5975] for[H3588] he had told[H5046] them that[H834] he[H1931] was a Jew.[H3064]

5. And when Haman[H2001] saw[H7200] that[H3588] Mordecai[H4782] bowed[H3766] not,[H369] nor did him reverence,[H7812] then was Haman[H2001] full[H4390] of wrath.[H2534]

6. And he thought[H5869] scorn[H959] to lay[H7971] hands[H3027] on Mordecai[H4782] alone;[H905] for[H3588] they had showed[H5046] him[H853] the people[H5971] of Mordecai:[H4782] wherefore Haman[H2001] sought[H1245] to destroy[H8045] [H853] all[H3605] the Jews[H3064] that[H834] were throughout the whole[H3605] kingdom[H4438] of Ahasuerus,[H325] even the people[H5971] of Mordecai.[H4782]

7. In the first[H7223] month,[H2320] that[H1931] is, the month[H2320] Nisan,[H5212] in the twelfth[H8147] [H6240] year[H8141] of king[H4428] Ahasuerus,[H325] they cast[H5307] Pur,[H6332] that[H1931] is, the lot,[H1486] before[H6440] Haman[H2001] from day[H4480] [H3117] to day,[H3117] and from month[H4480] [H2320] to month,[H2320] to the twelfth[H8147] [H6240] month, that[H1931] is, the month[H2320] Adar.[H143]

8. And Haman[H2001] said[H559] unto king[H4428] Ahasuerus,[H325] There is[H3426] a certain[H259] people[H5971] scattered abroad[H6340] and dispersed[H6504] among[H996] the people[H5971] in all[H3605] the provinces[H4082] of thy kingdom;[H4438] and their laws[H1881] are diverse[H8138] from all[H4480] [H3605] people;[H5971] neither[H369] keep[H6213] they the king's[H4428] laws:[H1881] therefore it is not[H369] for the king's[H4428] profit[H7737] to suffer[H5117] them.

9. If[H518] it please[H2895] [H5921] the king,[H4428] let it be written[H3789] that they may be destroyed:[H6] and I will pay[H8254] ten[H6235] thousand[H505] talents[H3603] of silver[H3701] to[H5921] the hands[H3027] of those that have the charge[H6213] of the business,[H4399] to bring[H935] it into[H413] the king's[H4428] treasuries.[H1595]

10. And the king[H4428] took[H5493] [H853] his ring[H2885] from[H4480] [H5921] his hand,[H3027] and gave[H5414] it unto Haman[H2001] the son[H1121] of Hammedatha[H4099] the Agagite,[H91] the Jews'[H3064] enemy.[H6887]

11. And the king[H4428] said[H559] unto Haman,[H2001] The silver[H3701] is given[H5414] to thee, the people[H5971] also, to do[H6213] with them as it seemeth good to thee.[H5869]

12. Then were the king's[H4428] scribes[H5608] called[H7121] on the thirteenth[H7969] [H6240] day[H3117] of the first[H7223] month,[H2320] and there was written[H3789] according to all[H3605] that[H834] Haman[H2001] had commanded[H6680] unto[H413] the king's[H4428] lieutenants,[H323] and to[H413] the governors[H6346] that[H834] were over[H5921] every province,[H4082] [H4082] and to[H413] the rulers[H8269] of every people[H5971] [H5971] of every province[H4082] [H4082] according to the writing[H3791] thereof, and to every people[H5971] [H5971] after their language;[H3956] in the name[H8034] of king[H4428] Ahasuerus[H325] was it written,[H3789] and sealed[H2856] with the king's[H4428] ring.[H2885]

13. And the letters[H5612] were sent[H7971] by[H3027] posts[H7323] into[H413] all[H3605] the king's[H4428] provinces,[H4082] to destroy,[H8045] to kill,[H2026] and to cause to perish,[H6] [H853] all[H3605] Jews,[H3064] both young[H4480] [H5288] and[H5704] old,[H2205] little children[H2945] and women,[H802] in one[H259] day,[H3117] even upon the thirteenth[H7969] [H6240] day of the twelfth[H8147] [H6240] month,[H2320] which[H1931] is the month[H2320] Adar,[H143] and to take the spoil[H7998] of them for a prey.[H962]

14. The copy[H6572] of the writing[H3791] for a commandment[H1881] to be given[H5414] in every[H3605] province[H4082] [H4082] was published[H1540] unto all[H3605] people,[H5971] that they should be[H1961] ready[H6264] against that[H2088] day.[H3117]

15. The posts[H7323] went out,[H3318] being hastened[H1765] by the king's[H4428] commandment,[H1697] and the decree[H1881] was given[H5414] in Shushan[H7800] the palace.[H1002] And the king[H4428] and Haman[H2001] sat down[H3427] to drink;[H8354] but the city[H5892] Shushan[H7800] was perplexed.[H943]
