14 So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 And the Jews who were in1 Shushan agathered together again on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and killed three hundred men at Shushan; bbut they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
16 The remainder of the Jews in the king’s provinces agathered together and protected their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of their enemies; bbut they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
17 This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And on the fourteenth of the month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
The Feast of Purim
18 But the Jews who were at1 Shushan assembled together aon the thirteenth day, as well as on the fourteenth; and on the fifteenth of2 the month they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
