Esther 9:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² In all the cities in each region of the kingdom where the Jews lived, they joined together. They punished anyone who tried to hurt them. Nobody could fight against them because all the people were very afraid of them.

³ All the king's officers and the rulers and leaders of each region decided to help the Jews. They did that because they were afraid of Mordecai's power. ⁴ He was now a very important officer in the king's palace. News about him reached all the regions as he became more and more powerful.
