SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:18
Mas los judíos que estaban en Susa se juntaron en el trece y en el catorce del mismo mes ; y al quince del mismo reposaron, y lo hicieron día de banquete y de alegría.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 9:18
Verse 18. The Jews-assembled-on the thirteenth-and on the fourteenth] These two days they were employed in slaying their enemies; and they rested on the fifteenth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth day thereof , etc.] Of the month Adar; that is, they gathered together to defend themselves, and destroy their enemies, on both these days, having the decree renewed for the fourteenth as they had for the thirteenth: and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness ; as the Jews in the provinces did on the fourteenth.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-19 - The enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them by the forme edict. If they had attempted nothing against the people of God, the would not themselves have suffered. The Jews, acting together strengthened one another. Let us learn to stand fast in one spirit, an with one mind, striving together against the enemies of our souls, wh endeavour to rob us of our faith, which is more precious than ou lives. The Jews, to the honour of their religion, showed contempt of wordly wealth, that they might make it appear they desired nothin except their own preservation. In every case the people of God shoul manifest humanity and disinterestedness, frequently refusing advantage which might lawfully be obtained. The Jews celebrated their festiva the day after they had finished their work. When we have received grea mercies from God, we ought to be speedy in making thankful returns to him.
