Esther 9:15-18

15The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed 1three hundred men in Susa, but 2they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

16Now 3the rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces 4assembled, to defend their lives and 5rid themselves of their enemies, and to kill seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder. 17This was done on 6the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and 7on the fourteenth 8day they rested and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.

18But the Jews who were in Susa 9assembled on the thirteenth and 10the fourteenth 11of the same month, and they rested on the fifteenth 12day and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.
