Hata, maka pada bulan yang kedua belas, yaitu bulan Adar, pada tiga belas hari bulan itu, serta sampailah ketika dilakukan titah dan perintah raja itu, yaitu pada hari yang diharap seteru orang Yahudi akan mengalahkan mereka itu, maka berubahlah hal itu, karena orang Yahudi juga yang mengalahkan segala pembencinya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now in the twelfth month, that is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same,.... Of which see Esther 3:13,

when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution; even both his commandments and decrees, the one empowering the enemies of the Jews on that day to destroy them, and the other empowering the Jews to act both defensively and offensively against their enemies:

in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them; by virtue of the first decree of the king; and notwithstanding the second, they might hope to have it because of their superior numbers:

though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; it proved the reverse, partly through the second decree in favour of the Jews, and partly through the fear of them that fell upon their enemies; because the court was on their side, and the officers everywhere, and especially their God filled them with courage, and their enemies with terror.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Drew near - Or, “arrived,” or “reached the time” specified Esther 3:13; Esther 8:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

On the thirteenth of the month Adar the Jews destroy their

enemies, and the governors of the provinces assist them, 1-5.

They slay five hundred in Shushan, and kill the ten sons of

Haman, but take no spoil, 6-10.

The king is informed of the slaughter in Shushan, 11.

He desires to know what Esther requests farther; who begs that

the Jews may be permitted to act on the following day as they

had done on the preceding, and that Haman's sons may be hanged

upon the gallows; which is granted; and they slay three hundred

more in Shushan, and in the other provinces seventy-five

thousand, 12-16.

A recapitulation of what was done; and of the appointment of the

feast of Purim to be observed through all their generations

every year, 17-28.

Esther writes to confirm this appointment, 29-32.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse Esther 9:1. Now in the twelfth month — What a number of providences, and none of them apparently of an extraordinary nature, concurred to preserve a people so signally, and to all human appearance so inevitably, doomed to destruction! None are ever too low for God to lift up, or too high for God to cast down. Must not these heathens have observed that the uncontrollable hand of an Almighty Being had worked in behalf of the Jews? And must not this have had a powerful tendency to discredit the idolatry of the country?
