3 Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
3
Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?”
4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
4
Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.
