Esther 9:2-3

21The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, 2for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.

3Even all the princes of the provinces, 3the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king’s business 4assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.
