Esther 9:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

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.

⁵ So when the day arrived, the Jews could do what they wanted to their enemies. They used their swords to attack them and to kill them.
