Esther 9:1 TLB

[1] So on the 28th day of February, the day the two decrees of the king were to be put into effect-the day the Jews' enemies had hoped to vanquish them, though it turned out quite to the contrary-the Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the king's provinces to defend themselves against any who might try to harm them; but no one tried, for they were greatly feared.
