Es 9:23-25
Esther 9:23-25
KJV(i) 23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; 24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; 25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Esther 9:23-25 2001 Translation American English Version
23 The Judeans were also happy when MordecAi wrote of 24 how HaMan (the son of HamaDathes the Macedonian) had waged war against them by authoring a referendum to wipe them out, 25 and of how he had gone before the king to hang MordecAi [on a pole]. Then he told of how [MordecAi's] attempt to do bad things to the Judeans resulted in his own hanging, along with his children.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
23 The Jews were waiting for a joy to come. This was happening while the remaining Jews would have been in Israel again, this Jews weren’t at home so this news reminded them of God’s favor for them, sometimes we need good news to remind us and lift our joy.
24-25 Haman was a threat to them but the threat was now taken care of, the threat was gone. We should be in God’s will because we don’t want to stand against it because standing in God’s will leads to great places but standing against His will leads to places we don’t want to go.
--- we can know good from God's word
