@ Now in the
twelfth
sh@
month
, that is, the
month
Adar
, on the
thirteenth
day
of the same, when the
kings
commandment
and his
decree
drew
near
to be put in
execution
, in the
day
that the
enemies
of the
Jews
hoped
to have
power
over them, (though it was
turned
to the contrary, that the
Jews
had
rule
over them that
hated
them;)
strkjv@Esther:9:2
@ The
Jews
gathered themselves
together
in their
cities
throughout all the
provinces
of the
king
Ahasuerus
, to
lay
hand
on such as
sought
their
hurt
: and no
man
could
withstand
them
; for the
fear
of them
fell
upon all
people
.
strkjv@Esther:9:3
@ And all the
rulers
of the
provinces
, and the
lieutenants
, and the
deputies
, and
officers
of the
king
,
helped
the
Jews
; because the
fear
of
Mordecai
fell
upon them.
strkjv@Esther:9:4
@ For
Mordecai
was
great
in the
kings
house
, and his
fame
went
out
throughout all the
provinces
: for this
man
Mordecai
waxed
greater and
greater
.
strkjv@Esther:9:5
@ Thus the
Jews
smote
all their
enemies
with the
stroke
of the
sword
, and
slaughter
, and
destruction
, and
did
what they
would
unto those that
hated
them.
strkjv@Esther:9:6
@ And in
Shushan
the
palace
the
Jews
slew

destroyed
five

strkjv@Esther:9:11
@ On that
day
the
number

strkjv@Esther:9:12
@ And the

unto

have
slain

destroyed
five
hundred

in
Shushan
the

ten
sons

Haman
; what have they
done

? now what is thy
petition
sh@? and it shall be
granted
thee: or what is thy
request
further
? and it shall be
done

strkjv@Esther:9:13
@ Then
said
Esther
, If it
please
the
king
, let it be
granted
to the
Jews
which are in
Shushan
to
do
to
morrow
also according unto this
days
decree
, and let
Hamans
ten
sons
be
hanged
upon the
gallows
.
strkjv@Esther:9:14
@ And the
king
commanded
it so to be
done
: and the
decree
was
given
at
Shushan
; and they
hanged
Hamans
ten
sons
.
strkjv@Esther:9:15
@ For the
Jews
that were in
Shushan
gathered themselves
together
on the
fourteenth
H6240
day
also of the
month
Adar
, and
slew
three
hundred
men
at
Shushan
; but on the
prey
they
laid
not their
hand
.
strkjv@Esther:9:16
@ But the
other
Jews
that were in the
kings
provinces
gathered themselves
together
, and
stood
for their
lives
, and had
rest
from their
enemies
, and
slew
of their
foes
seventy

five
thousand
, but they
laid
not their

on the
prey
,
strkjv@Esther:9:17
@ On the
thirteenth
day
of the

rested
they, and
made

strkjv@Esther:9:18
@ But the
Jews
that were at

assembled
together
on the

day thereof, and on the

fifteenth
day of the same they
rested

made
it a
day
of
feasting

gladness

strkjv@Esther:9:19
@ Therefore the
Jews

made

day
of the
month

a day of
gladness

feasting
, and a
good
day
, and of
sending
portions

strkjv@Esther:9:20
@ And
Mordecai
wrote
these
things

sent
letters
unto all the

that were in all the
provinces
of the
king
Ahasuerus

nigh

strkjv@Esther:9:21

rested

strkjv@Esther:9:23
@ And the
Jews
undertook
to
do
as they had
begun
, and as
Mordecai
had
written
unto them;
strkjv@Esther:9:24
@ Because
Haman
the
son
of
Hammedatha
, the
Agagite
, the
enemy
of all the
Jews
, had
devised
against the
Jews
to
destroy
them, and had
cast
Pur
, that is, the
lot
, to
consume
them, and to
destroy
them;
strkjv@Esther:9:25
@ But when Esther
came
before
the
king
, he
commanded
by
letters
that his
wicked
device
, which he
devised
against the
Jews
, should
return
upon his own
head
, and that he and his
sons
should be
hanged
on the
gallows
.
strkjv@Esther:9:26
@ Wherefore they
called
these
days
Purim
after the
name
of
Pur

words
of this
letter
, and of that which they had
seen
concerning this
matter
, and which had
come
unto them,
strkjv@Esther:9:27
@ The
Jews
ordained
, and
took
upon them, and upon their
seed

joined
themselves unto them, so as it should not
fail
, that they would
keep
these
two
days
according to their
writing
, and according to their appointed
time
every
year
;
strkjv@Esther:9:28
@ And that these
days
should be
remembered

kept
throughout

days
of
Purim
should not
fail
from
among
the
Jews

memorial
of them
perish
from their

strkjv@Esther:9:29
@ Then
Esther
the
queen

daughter
of
Abihail

Mordecai
the
Jew
,
wrote
with all
authority

confirm

second
letter
of
Purim

strkjv@Esther:9:30
@ And he
sent
the
letters
unto all the

hundred
twenty

words

peace

the

had
enjoined
them, and as they had
decreed
for
themselves
