1 Kings 12:32
32And Jeroboam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like athe feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethel bthe priests of the high places that he had made.Esther 3:6-12
6But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mordecai, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.7In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, cthey cast Pur (that is, they cast lots) before Haman day after day; and they cast it month after month till the twelfth month, which is dthe month of Adar. 8Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. eTheir laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king’s laws, so that it is not to the king’s profit to tolerate them. 9If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay 10,000 talents ▼
▼A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms
of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king’s business, that they may put it into the king’s treasuries.” 10 gSo the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman hthe Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, ithe enemy of the Jews. 11And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.” 12 jThen the king’s scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king’s ksatraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, lto every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written min the name of King Ahasuerus nand sealed with the king’s signet ring.
