Haman Expresses His Hatred of Mordecai

5:9 Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise nor tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.

Wesley: Est 5:9 - Nor moved

To shew how little he feared him, and that he had a firm confidence in his God, that he would deliver him and his people in this great exigency.

Clarke: Est 5:9 - That he stood not up, nor moved for him

That he stood not up, nor moved for him - This was certainly carrying his integrity or inflexibility to the highest pitch. But still we are left to conjecture that some reverence was required, which Mordecai could not conscientiously pay.

TSK: Est 5:9 - joyful // he stood not up // he was full

joyful : Job 20:5; Amo 6:12, Amo 6:13; Luk 6:25; Joh 16:20; Jam 4:9

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Est 5:9 - Mordecai stood not up, nor moved for him

Mordecai stood not up, nor moved for him partly, lest he should seem or be interpreted to give him that adoration which he hitherto had justly denied; partly, because by his bloody and barbarous design and practice he had put off all humanity, and forfeited all respect; and partly, to show how little he feared him, and that he had a firm confidence in his God that he would deliver him and his people in this great exigence; which he was the more encouraged to hope, because God had inclined Esther’ s heart to that pious and valiant resolution of interceding with the king, which he doubted not would meet with good success.

Gill: Est 5:9 - Then went Haman forth that day, joyful, and with a glad heart // but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him // he was full of wrath against Mordecai

Then went Haman forth that day, joyful, and with a glad heart,.... From court to his own house

but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him; did not show him the least degree even of civil respect; which he refused to do, partly lest it should be interpreted an adoration of him, and partly because it was well known to him he had formed a scheme for the destruction of him and all his people; and the rather he refused it to him, as Esther was about to make intercession with the king to revoke his decree, of the success of which he had no doubt; and therefore had nothing to fear from him, but treated him with the utmost contempt, as he deserved:

he was full of wrath against Mordecai; it was a sad mortification to him, and a great allay of that joy and elation of mind on account of the favour he was in; not with the king only, but the queen also, as he imagined.
