Esther 9:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai had written to them. And they agreed to hold the celebration every year. ²⁴ Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, was the enemy of all the Jews. He had made an evil plan against the Jews to destroy them. And Haman had thrown the pur (that is, the lot) to choose a day to ruin and destroy the Jews. ²⁵ But when the king learned of the evil plan, he sent out written orders. This was so the evil plans Haman had made against the Jews would be used against him. And those orders said that Haman and his sons should be hanged on the platform for hanging.
