Esther 3

King Ahasuerus promotes Haman the Agagite above all princes, but Mordecai refuses to bow to him, provoking Haman's wrath and plot to destroy all Jews throughout the kingdom.[2][3] Haman persuades the king with accusations of the Jews' disloyalty, receives the signet ring, and issues a decree to annihilate all Jews—young, old, women, and children—on the thirteenth day of Adar, plunging Susa into confusion.[2][3]
