Esther 9:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Meanwhile the other Jews throughout the king’s provinces had gathered together and stood for their lives and destroyed all their enemies, killing 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not take their goods. ¹⁷ Throughout the provinces this was done on the 28th day of February, and the next day they rested, celebrating their victory with feasting and gladness. ¹⁸ But the Jews at Shushan went on killing their enemies the second day also and rested the next day, with feasting and gladness.
