Esther 3:4
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

Allusion
Daniel 3:12 explicitly says the Jewish men 'pay no attention' to the king — the same charge as Mordecai here. Strong parallel.
Daniel 6:13
Parallel
