Esther 9:2 in Context — Esther 9
1 Y EN el mes duodécimo, que es el mes de Adar, á trece del mismo, en el que tocaba se ejecutase el mandamiento del rey y su ley, el mismo día en que esperaban los enemigos de los Judíos enseñorearse de ellos, fué lo contrario; porque los Judíos se enseñorearon de los que los aborrecían.
2 Los Judíos se juntaron en sus ciudades en todas las provincias del rey Assuero, para meter mano sobre los que habían procurado su mal: y nadie se puso delante de ellos, porque el temor de ellos había caído sobre todos los pueblos.
3 Y todos los príncipes de las provincias, y los virreyes, y capitanes, y oficiales del rey, ensalzaban á los Judíos; porque el temor de Mardochêo había caído sobre ellos.
4 Porque Mardochêo era grande en la casa del rey, y su fama iba por todas las provincias; pues el varón Mardochêo iba engrandeciéndose.
