Esther 9:1-19

1Now in the twelfthH8147H6240 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 AdarH143, on the thirteenthH7969H6240 dayH3117 of the same, when the king’sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 drew nearH5060 to be put in executionH6213, in the dayH3117 that the enemiesH341 of the JewsH3064 hopedH7663 to have powerH7980 over them, (though it was turnedH2015 to the contrary, that the JewsH3064 had ruleH7980 over them that hatedH8130 them;) 2The JewsH3064 gathered themselves togetherH6950 in their citiesH5892 throughout all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, to layH7971 handH3027 on such as soughtH1245 their harmH7451: and no manH376 could withstandH5975 themH6440; for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon all peopleH5971. 3And all the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and the satrapsH323, and the governorsH6346, and officersH6213H4399 of the kingH4428, helpedH5375 the JewsH3064; because the fearH6343 of MordecaiH4782 fellH5307 upon them.1 4For MordecaiH4782 was greatH1419 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and his fameH8089 went outH1980 throughout all the provincesH4082: for this manH376 MordecaiH4782 becameH1980 greater and greaterH1419. 5Thus the JewsH3064 smoteH5221 all their enemiesH341 with the strokeH4347 of the swordH2719, and slaughterH2027, and destructionH12, and didH6213 what they wouldH7522 to those that hatedH8130 them.2 6And in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002 the JewsH3064 slewH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376. 7And ParshandathaH6577, and DalphonH1813, and AspathaH630, 8And PorathaH6334, and AdaliaH118, and AridathaH743, 9And ParmashtaH6534, and ArisaiH747, and AridaiH742, and VajezathaH2055, 10The tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099, the enemyH6887 of the JewsH3064, they slewH2026; but on the spoilH961 they laidH7971 not their handH3027. 11On that dayH3117 the numberH4557 of those that were slainH2026 in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002 was broughtH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.3 12And the kingH4428 saidH559 to EstherH635 the queenH4436, The JewsH3064 have slainH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376 in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002, and the tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001; what have they doneH6213 in the restH7605 of the king’sH4428 provincesH4082? now what is thy petitionH7596? and it shall be grantedH5414 thee: or what is thy requestH1246 furtherH5750? and it shall be doneH6213. 13Then saidH559 EstherH635, If it shall pleaseH2896 the kingH4428, let it be grantedH5414 to the JewsH3064 who are in ShushanH7800 to doH6213 to morrowH4279 also according to this day’sH3117 decreeH1881, and let Haman’sH2001 tenH6235 sonsH1121 be hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086.4 14And the kingH4428 commandedH559 it so to be doneH6213: and the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800; and they hangedH8518 Haman’sH2001 tenH6235 sonsH1121. 15For the JewsH3064 that were in ShushanH7800 gathered themselves togetherH6950 on the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 also of the monthH2320 AdarH143, and slewH2026 threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 at ShushanH7800; but on the spoilH961 they laidH7971 not their handH3027. 16But the otherH7605 JewsH3064 that were in the king’sH4428 provincesH4082 gathered themselves togetherH6950, and defendedH5975 their livesH5315, and had restH5118 from their enemiesH341, and slewH2026 of their foesH8130 seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 thousandH505, but they laidH7971 not their handsH3027 on the spoilH961, 17On the thirteenthH7969H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143; and on the fourteenthH702H6240 day of the same they restedH5118, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and gladnessH8057.5 18But the JewsH3064 that were at ShushanH7800 assembled togetherH6950 on the thirteenthH7969H6240 day of the month, and on the fourteenthH702H6240 of it; and on the fifteenthH2568H6240 day of the same they restedH5118, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and gladnessH8057. 19Therefore the JewsH3064 of the villagesH6521, that dweltH3427 in the unwalledH6519 townsH5892, madeH6213 the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143 a day of gladnessH8057 and feastingH4960, and a goodH2896 dayH3117, and of sendingH4916 portionsH4490 oneH376 to anotherH7453.
