Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 5:9

9 Then went Haman forth that day, joyful, and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the kings gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him , he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

Partly lest he should[illegible: 1+ letters]eem, or [illegible: 1+ letters]e interpreted to give him that adoration which he hitherto had justly denied: partly because by his bloody and barbarous design and practise, he had put off all humanity, and forfeited all respect; and partly to shew how little he [illegible: 1+ letters]eared him, and that he had a firm confidence in his God that he would deliver him and his people in this great exigency; which he was the more encouraged to hope, because God had enclined Esthers heart to that pious & valiant resolution of interceding with the King, which he doubted not would meet with good success.
