Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel both was like this with David and with Absalom.Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him will flee. I will strike the king only,and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.”The saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.

They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.The king said to Haman,“ The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”Then the king’s scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king’s local governors, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.Letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.The couriers went out in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.
