Esther 9:16

But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together ,.... In a body, in their respective provinces and cities:

and stood for their lives ; defended themselves against those that attacked them:

and had rest from their enemies ; that selfsame day; all being destroyed by them, and none daring to appear against them:

and slew of their foes 75,000 men ; that is, in all the provinces put together:

but they laid not their hands on the prey ; See Gill on Esther 9:7 .
