Context
1Katika siku ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa kumi na mbili, yaani mwezi wa Adari, amri iliyoagizwa na mfalme ilikuwa itekelezwe. Siku hii adui wa Wayahudi walikuwa wametumaini kuwashinda, lakini sasa mambo yaliwageukia na Wayahudi wakawashinda wale waliokuwa wanawachukia. 2Wayahudi walikusanyika katika miji yao, katika majimbo ya Mfalme Ahasuero kuwashambulia wale waliokuwa wanatafuta kuwaangamiza. Hakuna yeyote aliyeweza kushindana nao, kwa sababu watu wa mataifa mengine yote waliwaogopa. 3Nao wakuu wote wa majimbo, majemadari, watawala na maafisa wa mfalme wakawasaidia Wayahudi, kwa sababu walimhofu Mordekai.
