Haman asks King Ahasuerus that a certain people be destroyed, and the king gives him his ring

하만이 한 민족을 진멸하기를 아뢰고 왕이 반지를 빼어 하만에게 줌

Esther 3:8–11: Haman says to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain. If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.” The king takes his ring from his hand, and gives it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy. The king says to Haman, “The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.” The Korean Revised Version gives 3:11 no subject and no one spoken to (이르되, said), going on from 3:10 (왕이 반지를 손에서 빼어 … 하만에게 주며, the king took off his ring … and gave it to Haman), and reads 조서를 내려 저희를 진멸하소서 (send down a decree and destroy them) at 3:9.
