This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Est 3:1-15. Haman, advanced by the king, and despised by Mordecai, seeks revenge on all the Jews.
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman ... set his seat above all the princes - that is, raised him to the rank of vizier, or prime confidential minister, whose pre-eminence in office and power appeared in the elevated state chair appropriated to that supreme functionary. Such a distinction in seats was counted of vast importance in the formal court of Persia.
