Chapter 8
On
that
day
did
the
King
Ahasuerus
giue
the
house
of
Haman,
the
Iewes
enemy,
vnto
Esther
the
Queene;
and
Mordecai
came
before
the
King;
for
Esther
hade
told
what
he
was
vnto
her.
2
And
the
king
tooke
off
his
Ring
which
he
had
taken
from
Haman,
and
gaue
it
vnto
Mordecai.
And
Esther
set
Mordecai
ouer
the
house
of
Haman.
3
And
Esther
spake
yet
againe
before
the
king,
and
fell
downe
at
his
feet,
and
besought
him
with
teares,
to
put
away
the
mischiefe
of
Haman
the
Agagite,
and
his
deuice,
that
he
had
deuised
against
the
Iewes.
4
Then
the
king
helde
out
the
golden
scepter
toward
Esther.
So
Esther
arose,
and
stood
before
the
king,
5
And
said,
If
it
please
the
king,
and
if
I
haue
found
fauour
in
his
sight,
and
the
thing
seeme
right
before
the
king,
and
I
bee
pleasing
in
his
eyes,
let
it
be
written
to
reuerse
the
letters
deuised
by
Haman
the
sonne
of
Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
which
hee
wrote
to
destroy
the
Iewes,
which
are
in
all
the
kings
prouinces.
6
For
how
can
I
endure
to
see
the
euill
that
shall
come
vnto
my
people?
Or
how
can
I
endure
to
see
the
destruction
of
my
kinred?
7
Then
the
king
Ahasuerus
said
vnto
Esther
the
Queene,
and
to
Mordecai
the
Iewe,
Behold,
I
haue
giuen
Esther
the
house
of
Haman,
and
him
they
haue
hanged
vpon
the
gallowes,
because
hee
layde
his
hand
vpon
the
Iewes.
8
Write
ye
also
for
the
Iewes,
as
it
liketh
you,
in
the
Kings
name,
and
seale
it
with
the
Kings
ring:
for
the
writing
which
is
written
in
the
Kings
name,
and
sealed
with
the
Kings
ring,
may
no
man
reuerse.
9
Then
were
the
kings
scribes
called
at
that
time,
in
the
third
moneth,
(that
is,
the
month
Siuan)
on
the
three
and
twentieth
day
thereof,
and
it
was
written
(according
to
all
that
Mordecai
commanded)
vnto
the
Iewes,
and
to
the
Lieutenants,
and
the
deputies
and
rulers
of
the
prouinces,
which
are
from
India
vnto
Ethiopia,
an
hundred,
twentie
and
seuen
prouinces,
vnto
euery
prouince
according
to
the
writing
thereof,
and
vnto
euery
people
after
their
language,
and
to
the
Iewes,
according
to
their
writing,
and
according
to
their
language.
10
And
he
wrote
in
the
king
Ahasuerus
name,
and
sealed
it
with
the
kings
Ring,
and
sent
letters
by
Postes,
on
horsebacke,
and
riders
on
mules,
camels,
and
yong
dromedaries:
11
Wherein
the
King
granted
the
Iewes,
which
were
in
euery
citie,
to
gather
themselues
together,
and
to
stand
for
their
life,
to
destroy,
to
slay,
and
to
cause
to
perish
all
the
power
of
the
people
and
prouince
that
would
assault
them,
both
little
ones,
and
women,
and
to
take
the
spoile
of
them
for
a
pray:
12
Upon
one
day,
in
all
the
prouinces
of
king
Ahasuerus,
namely
vpon
the
thirteenth
day
of
the
twelfth
moneth,
which
is
the
moneth
Adar.
13
The
copy
of
the
writing,
for
a
commandement
to
bee
giuen
in
euery
prouince,
was
published
vnto
all
people,
and
that
the
Iewes
should
be
readie
against
that
day,
to
auenge
themselues
on
their
enemies.
14
So
the
posts
that
rode
vpon
mules
and
camels
went
out,
being
hastened,
and
pressed
on
by
the
kings
commandement,
and
the
decree
was
giuen
at
Shushan
the
palace.
15
And
Mordecai
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
king,
in
royall
apparell,
of
blew
and
white,
and
with
a
great
crowne
of
gold,
and
with
a
garment
of
fine
linnen,
and
purple,
and
the
citie
of
Shushan
reioyced,
and
was
glad:
16
The
Iewes
had
light
and
gladnesse,
and
ioy
and
honour.
17
And
in
euery
prouince,
and
in
euery
city,
whithersoeuer
the
kings
commandement,
and
his
decree
came,
the
Iewes
had
ioy
and
gladnes,
a
feast
and
a
good
day:
And
many
of
the
people
of
the
land
became
Iewes;
for
the
feare
of
the
Iewes
fell
vpon
them.
