Esther 9:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And the rest of the Jews that were in the King’s provinces assembled themselves, and stood for [a]their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that [b]hated them, seventy and five thousand: but they laid not their hand on the spoil.
17 This they did on the [c]thirteenth day of the month Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and joy.
18 But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled themselves on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth thereof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and joy.
