16 Now (C)the rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces (D)assembled, to defend their lives and [a]rid themselves of their enemies, and to kill seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder. 17 This was done on (E)the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and (F)on the fourteenth [b]day they rested and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.
