20 However, Saul said to Samuel: “But I have obeyed+ the voice of Jehovah in that I went on the mission on which Jehovah had sent me and I brought Aʹgag+ the king of Amʹa·lek, but Amʹa·lek I have devoted to destruction.+

3 After these things King A·has·u·eʹrus magnified Haʹman+ the son of Ham·me·daʹtha the Agʹag·ite+ and proceeded to exalt him+ and to put his throne above all the other princes that were with him.+

10 And they proceeded to hang Haʹman on the stake+ that he had prepared for Morʹde·cai;+ and the king’s rage itself subsided.

24 For Haʹman+ the son of Ham·me·daʹtha,+ the Agʹag·ite,+ the one showing hostility+ to all the Jews, had himself schemed against the Jews to destroy them,+ and he had had Pur,+ that is, the Lot,+ cast, to disquiet them and destroy them.
