Esther 9:2-16

The Jews
<03064>
gathered themselves together
<06950> (8738)
in their cities
<05892>
throughout all the provinces
<04082>
of the king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>_,
to lay
<07971> (8800)
hand
<03027>
on such as sought
<01245> (8764)
their hurt
<07451>_:
and no man
<0376>
could withstand
<05975> (8804)
them
<06440>_;
for the fear
<06343>
of them fell
<05307> (8804)
upon all people
<05971>_.
And all the rulers
<08269>
of the provinces
<04082>_,
and the lieutenants
<0323>_,
and the deputies
<06346>_,
and officers
<06213> (8802) <04399>
of the king
<04428>_,
helped
<05375> (8764)
the Jews
<03064>_;
because the fear
<06343>
of Mordecai
<04782>
fell
<05307> (8804)
upon them. {officers...: Heb. those which did the business that belonged to the king}
For Mordecai
<04782>
[was] great
<01419>
in the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and his fame
<08089>
went out
<01980> (8802)
throughout all the provinces
<04082>_:
for this man
<0376>
Mordecai
<04782>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
greater and greater
<01419>_.
Thus the Jews
<03064>
smote
<05221> (8686)
all their enemies
<0341> (8802)
with the stroke
<04347>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and slaughter
<02027>_,
and destruction
<012>_,
and did
<06213> (8799)
what they would
<07522>
unto those that hated
<08130> (8802)
them. {what...: Heb. according to their will}
And in Shushan
<07800>
the palace
<01002>
the Jews
<03064>
slew
<02026> (8804)
and destroyed
<06> (8763)
five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_.
And Parshandatha
<06577>_,
and Dalphon
<01813>_,
and Aspatha
<0630>_,
And Poratha
<06334>_,
and Adalia
<0118>_,
and Aridatha
<0743>_,
And Parmashta
<06534>_,
and Arisai
<0747>_,
and Aridai
<0742>_,
and Vajezatha
<02055>_,
The ten
<06235>
sons
<01121>
of Haman
<02001>
the son
<01121>
of Hammedatha
<04099>_,
the enemy
<06887> (8802)
of the Jews
<03064>_,
slew
<02026> (8804)
they; but on the spoil
<0961>
laid
<07971> (8804)
they not their hand
<03027>_.
On that day
<03117>
the number
<04557>
of those that were slain
<02026> (8803)
in Shushan
<07800>
the palace
<01002>
was brought
<0935> (8804)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
{was...: Heb. came}
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>_,
The Jews
<03064>
have slain
<02026> (8804)
and destroyed
<06> (8763)
five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
in Shushan
<07800>
the palace
<01002>_,
and the ten
<06235>
sons
<01121>
of Haman
<02001>_;
what have they done
<06213> (8804)
in the rest
<07605>
of the king's
<04428>
provinces
<04082>_?
now what [is] thy petition
<07596>_?
and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)
thee: or what [is] thy request
<01246>
further
<05750>_?
and it shall be done
<06213> (8735)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Esther
<0635>_,
If it please
<02896>
the king
<04428>_,
let it be granted
<05414> (8735)
to the Jews
<03064>
which [are] in Shushan
<07800>
to do
<06213> (8800)
to morrow
<04279>
also according unto this day's
<03117>
decree
<01881>_,
and let Haman's
<02001>
ten
<06235>
sons
<01121>
be hanged
<08518> (8799)
upon the gallows
<06086>_.
{let Haman's...: Heb. let men hang, etc}
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
it so to be done
<06213> (8736)_:
and the decree
<01881>
was given
<05414> (8735)
at Shushan
<07800>_;
and they hanged
<08518> (8804)
Haman's
<02001>
ten
<06235>
sons
<01121>_.
For the Jews
<03064>
that [were] in Shushan
<07800>
gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)
on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>
day
<03117>
also of the month
<02320>
Adar
<0143>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
at Shushan
<07800>_;
but on the prey
<0961>
they laid
<07971> (8804)
not their hand
<03027>_.
But the other
<07605>
Jews
<03064>
that [were] in the king's
<04428>
provinces
<04082>
gathered themselves together
<06950> (8738)_,
and stood
<05975> (8800)
for their lives
<05315>_,
and had rest
<05118>
from their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and slew
<02026> (8800)
of their foes
<08130> (8802)
seventy
<07657>
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>_,
but they laid
<07971> (8804)
not their hands
<03027>
on the prey
<0961>_,
