Esther 9:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ And all the princes of the provinces and the chief rulers and the governors and they who attended to the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.

⁴ For Mordecai was great in the king’s palace; and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai became more and more powerful.

⁵ So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering and destroying them, and did as they chose with those who hated them.
