The king’s command and law went into effect on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar. On the day when the Jews’ enemies had hoped to overpower them, just the opposite happened. The Jews overpowered those who hated them.In each of King Ahasuerus’s provinces the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who intended to harm them. Not a single person could withstand them; terror of them fell on every nationality.All the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the royal civil administrators aided the Jews because they were afraid of Mordecai.For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.The Jews put all their enemies to the sword, killing and destroying them. They did what they pleased to those who hated them.In the fortress of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed 500 men,including Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.They killed these 10 sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews.

Zechariah 14:1-7
A day of the Lord is coming when your plunder will be divided in your presence.I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.Then the Lord will go out to fight against those nations as He fights on a day of battle.On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to the north and half to the south.You will flee by My mountain valley, for the valley of the mountains will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with Him.On that day there will be no light; the sunlight and moonlight will diminish.It will be a day known only to Yahweh, without day or night, but there will be light at evening.
