Esther 9:1-6
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.
