Esther 3:1 in Context — Esther 3
1 Après ces choses, le roi Assuérus fit monter au pouvoir Haman, fils d’Hammedatha, l’Agaguite; il l’éleva en dignité et plaça son siège au-dessus de ceux de tous les chefs qui étaient auprès de lui.
2 Tous les serviteurs du roi, qui se tenaient à la porte du roi, fléchissaient le genou et se prosternaient devant Haman, car tel était l’ordre du roi à son égard. Mais Mardochée ne fléchissait point le genou et ne se prosternait point.
3 Et les serviteurs du roi, qui se tenaient à la porte du roi, dirent à Mardochée: Pourquoi transgresses-tu l’ordre du roi?
