* And the letters were sent by posts into all the king 's provinces , to destroy , to kill , and to cause to perish , all Jews , both young and old , little children and women , in one day , even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month , which is the month Adar , and to take the spoil of them for a prey . * The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people , that they should be ready against that day . * The posts went out , being hastened by the king 's commandment , and the decree was given in Shushan the palace . And the king and Haman sat down to drink ; but the city Shushan was perplexed .
