Commentary
Gill's Exposition
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,.... Wherever they lived: to lay hand on such as sought their hurt; who not only
threatened them what they would do on this day, but were risen up in arms in quest of them: and no man could withstand them, for the fear of them fell upon all people; when they understood that Haman was hanged, and Mordecai the Jew advanced, and that the queen herself was a Jew, and that the Jews had the royal grant to act both defensively and offensively; and no doubt but the panic was of God.
