Esther 9:1-2

Esther 9:1-2 CSB

The king’s command and law  went into effect on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month,  the month Adar. On the day when the Jews’ enemies  had hoped to overpower them, just the opposite happened. The Jews overpowered those who hated them.  In each of King Ahasuerus’s provinces  the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who intended to harm them.  Not a single person could withstand them; fear of them  fell on every nationality.
