mordecai Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, {Mordecai}, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: mordecai Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, {Mordecai}, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, [I say], of the men of the people of Israel [was this]; mordecai Now] in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name [was] {Mordecai}, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; mordecai And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom {Mordecai}, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. mordecai Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for {Mordecai} had charged her that she should not show [it]. mordecai And {Mordecai} walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. mordecai Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of {Mordecai}, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, app ointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. mordecai And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then {Mordecai} sat in the king's gate. mordecai Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of {Mordecai}, like as when she was brought up with him. mordecai Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor her people; as {Mordecai} had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him. mordecai In those days, while {Mordecai} sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. mordecai And the thing was known to {Mordecai}, who told [it] unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king [thereof] in Mordecai's name. mordecai And all the king's servants, that [were] in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But {Mordecai} bowed not, nor did [him] reverence. mordecai Then the king's servants, which [were] in the king's gate, said unto {Mordecai}, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? mordecai And when Haman saw that {Mordecai} bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. mordecai And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of {Mordecai}. mordecai And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of {Mordecai}: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of Mordecai. mordecai And he thought scorn to lay hands on {Mordecai} alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of Mordecai. mordecai When Mordecai perceived all that was done, {Mordecai} rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; mordecai When {Mordecai} perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; mordecai So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe {Mordecai}, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not. mordecai Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to {Mordecai}, to know what it [was], and why it [was]. mordecai So Hatach went forth to {Mordecai} unto the street of the city, which [was] before the king's gate. mordecai And {Mordecai} told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. mordecai And Hatach came and told Esther the words of {Mordecai}. mordecai Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto {Mordecai}; mordecai And they told to {Mordecai} Esther's words. mordecai Then {Mordecai} commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. mordecai Then Esther bade [them] return {Mordecai} [this answer], mordecai So {Mordecai} went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him. mordecai Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw {Mordecai} in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai. mordecai Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against {Mordecai}. mordecai Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see {Mordecai} the Jew sitting at the king's gate. mordecai Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that {Mordecai} may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. A nd the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. mordecai And it was found written, that {Mordecai} had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. mordecai And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to {Mordecai} for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. mordecai And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang {Mordecai} on the gallows that he had prepared for him. mordecai Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to {Mordecai} the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. mordecai Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed {Mordecai}, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour. mordecai And {Mordecai} came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. mordecai And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If {Mordecai} [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt no t prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. mordecai And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for {Mordecai}, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. mordecai So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for {Mordecai}. Then was the king's wrath pacified. mordecai On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And {Mordecai} came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] unto her. mordecai And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto {Mordecai}. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. mordecai And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set {Mordecai} over the house of Haman. mordecai Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to {Mordecai} the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews. mordecai Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that {Mordecai} commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenan ts, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to th eir writing, and according to their language. mordecai And {Mordecai} went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. mordecai And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of {Mordecai} fell upon them. mordecai For Mordecai [was] great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man {Mordecai} waxed greater and greater. mordecai For {Mordecai} [was] great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. mordecai And {Mordecai} wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, [both] nigh and far, mordecai And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as {Mordecai} had written unto them; mordecai Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and {Mordecai} the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. mordecai To confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed], according as {Mordecai} the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry. mordecai And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of {Mordecai}, whereunto the king advanced him, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? mordecai For {Mordecai} the Jew [was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. ~~~~~~
