Esther 9:1-6
1And in the twelfth monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 AdarH143, on the thirteenth dayH3117 thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the dayH3117 that the enemiesH341 of the JewsH3064 hoped to have power over them (but it was turnedH2015 to the contrary, that the JewsH3064 had power over them that hatedH8130 them),
2the JewsH3064 gathered themselves together in their citiesH5892 throughout the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, to lay handH3027 on such as soughtH1245 their hurt. And no manH376 could withstand them; for the fearH6343 of them had fallenH5307 upon all the peoplesH5971.
3And all the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and the satrapsH323, and the governorsH6346 and officers of the kingH4428, helped the JewsH3064; for the fearH6343 of MordecaiH4782 had fallenH5307 upon them.
4For MordecaiH4782 was greatH1419 in the king's houseH1004, and his fame wentH1980 forth throughout the provincesH4082; for the manH376 MordecaiH4782 became continually greaterH1419.
5And the JewsH3064 smote all their enemiesH341 with the stroke of the swordH2719 and slaughterH4347 and destruction, and did what they would to those that hatedH8130 them.
6And in Shushan the fortress the JewsH3064 slewH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376.
