Esther 9:1-10
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those determined to destroy them. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them.And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king’s administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them.Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful.The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha,the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder. (niv)

Sacharja 14:1-7
A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness.It will be a unique day— a day known only to the Lord— with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light. (niv)
