Esther 9:1-15

9:1

Now in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

on the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the same, when the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

drew near
<05060> (8689)

to be put in execution
<06213> (8736)_,

in the day
<03117>

that the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the Jews
<03064>

hoped
<07663> (8765)

to have power
<07980> (8800)

over them, (though it was turned
<02015> (8736)

to the contrary, that the Jews
<03064>

had rule
<07980> (8799)

over them that hated
<08130> (8802)

them;)

9:2

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>_.

9:3

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}

9:4

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>_.

9:5

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}

9:6

And in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>

the Jews
<03064>

slew
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

9:7

And Parshandatha
<06577>_,

and Dalphon
<01813>_,

and Aspatha
<0630>_,

9:8

And Poratha
<06334>_,

and Adalia
<0118>_,

and Aridatha
<0743>_,

9:9

And Parmashta
<06534>_,

and Arisai
<0747>_,

and Aridai
<0742>_,

and Vajezatha
<02055>_,

9:10

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>_.

9:11

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}

9:12

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)_.

9:13

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}

9:14

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>_.

9:15

For the Jews
<03064>

that [were] in Shushan
<07800>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

<03117>

also of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

<07969>

<03967>

men
<0376>

at Shushan
<07800>_;

but on the prey
<0961>

they laid
<07971> (8804)

not their hand
<03027>_.
