Haman Plans to Destroy the Jews
3 After those events, King Xerxes honored Haman. Haman was the son of Hammedatha. He was from the family line of Agag. The king gave Haman a higher position than he had before. He gave him a seat of honor. It was higher than the positions any of the other nobles had. 2 All the royal officials at the palace gate got down on their knees. They gave honor to Haman.
