Esther 9:1-6

1NowH3117 in the twelfth monthH2320, whichH834 is the monthH2320 AdarH143, on the thirteenth dayH3117 of the sameH1931, when the king’sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 drewH5060 nearH5060 to be put in execution, in the dayH3117 that the enemiesH341 of the JewsH3064 hoped to have ruleH1697 over them; whereas it was turnedH2015 to the contrary, that the JewsH3064 had ruleH1697 over them that hatedH8130 them;

2the JewsH3064 gatheredH6950 themselvesH7451 togetherH5921 in their citiesH5892 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, to layH7971 handH3027 on suchH3605 as soughtH1245 their hurt: and noH3808 manH376 couldH376 withstandH5975 them; for the fearH6343 of them was fallenH5307 uponH5921 allH3605 the peoplesH5971.

3And allH3605 the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and the satrapsH323, and the governorsH6346, and they that didH6213 the king’sH4428 businessH4399, helped the JewsH3064; becauseH3588 the fearH6343 of MordecaiH4782 was fallenH5307 uponH5921 them.

4For MordecaiH4782 was greatH1419 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and his fameH8089 wentH1980 forthH1980 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the provincesH4082: for the manH376 MordecaiH4782 waxed greaterH1419 and greaterH1419.

5And the JewsH3064 smoteH5221 allH3605 their enemiesH341 with the stroke of the swordH2719, and with slaughterH4347 and destructionH12, and didH6213 whatH7522 they would unto them that hatedH8130 them.

6And in Shushan the palace the JewsH3064 slewH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376.
