Esther 3:6

But 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 .

Yet having learned who Mordecai`s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai`s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.

And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai : wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
