Rashi, on Esth 3:2

“And all the king’s servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him.”

“would kneel and prostrate themselves Because he made himself a god; therefore “Mordecai would neither kneel nor prostrate himself.””
