Esther 9:2

"Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),"

Key Reflection

This verse describes a pivotal moment where the king’s decree, intended for the destruction of the Jews, paradoxically led to their salvation. The enemies of the Jews, expecting victory, were instead defeated, highlighting the sovereign hand of God in the preservation and triumph of His people.
