Esther 3:13
3:13 Letters were sent by the runners to all the king’s provinces stating that
they should destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews, from youth to elderly, both women and children,
on a particular day, namely the thirteenth day
of the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar), and to loot and plunder their possessions.
Esther 8:5
8:5 She said, “If the king is so inclined and if I have met with his approval and if the matter is agreeable to the king and if I am attractive to him, let an edict be written rescinding those recorded intentions of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote in order to destroy the Jews who are throughout all the king’s provinces.
Esther 4:11
4:11 “All the servants of the king and the people of the king’s provinces know that there is only one law applicable
to any man or woman who comes uninvited to the king in the inner court – that person will be put to death, unless the king extends to him the gold scepter, permitting him to be spared.
Now I have not been invited to come to the king for some thirty days!”
