Esther 9:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 In each of King Ahasuerus’s provinces(A) the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who intended to harm them.[a] Not a single person could withstand them; terror of them(B) fell on every nationality.(C)
3 All the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the royal civil administrators[b](D) aided the Jews because they were afraid of Mordecai.(E) 4 For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace,(F) and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.(G)
