8\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are<\/span> diverse from all people; neither keep they the king\u2019s laws: therefore it is<\/span> not for the king\u2019s profit to suffer them. 9\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it<\/span> into the king\u2019s treasuries. 10\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews\u2019 enemy. 11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And the king said unto Haman, The silver is<\/span> given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee. 12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then were the king\u2019s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king\u2019s lieutenants, and to the governors that were<\/span> over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to<\/span> every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king\u2019s ring. 13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And the letters were sent by posts into all the king\u2019s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even<\/span> upon the thirteenth day<\/span> of the twelfth month, which is<\/span> the month Adar, and to take<\/span> the spoil of them for a prey. 14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day. 15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>The posts went out, being hastened by the king\u2019s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed. <\/div>
