Esther:9:1-17

updv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over those who hated them,)

updv@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 had fallen on all the peoples.

updv@Esther:9:3 @ And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those who did the king's business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.

updv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

updv@Esther:9:5 @ And the Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those who hated them.

updv@Esther:9:6 @ And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

updv@Esther:9:7 @ And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

updv@Esther:9:8 @ and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

updv@Esther:9:9 @ and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,

updv@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew's enemy, they slew; but on the spoil they didn't lay their hand.

updv@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those who were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

updv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? And it will be granted you: or what is your request further? And it will be done.

updv@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther, If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows.

updv@Esther:9:14 @ And the king commanded it to be done so: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

updv@Esther:9:15 @ And the Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they didn't lay their hand.

updv@Esther:9:16 @ And the other Jews who were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of those who hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they didn't lay their hand.

updv@Esther:9:17 @ [This was done] on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
