'Scorn' in the Bible

But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn on their head and give them over to plunder in the land of captivity.
