24 Also we certify{H3046}{(H8683)} you, that touching any{H3606} of the priests{H3549} and Levites{H3879}, singers{H2171}, porters{H8652}, Nethinims{H5412}, or ministers{H6399}{(H8750)} of this{H1836} house{H1005} of God{H426}, it shall not{H3809} be lawful{H7990} to impose{H7412}{(H8749)} toll{H4061}, tribute{H1093}, or custom{H1983}, upon{H5922} them. 25 And thou{H607}, Ezra{H5831}, after the wisdom{H2452} of thy God{H426}, that is in thine hand{H3028}, set{H4483}{(H8740)} magistrates{H8200}{(H8751)} and judges{H1782}, which may judge{H1934}{(H8748)}{H1778}{(H8751)} all{H3606} the people{H5972} that are beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}, all{H3606} such as know{H3046}{(H8751)} the laws{H1882} of thy God{H426}; and teach{H3046}{(H8681)} ye them that know{H3046}{(H8751)} them not{H3809}. 26 And whosoever{H3606} will not{H3809} do{H1934}{(H8748)}{H5648}{(H8751)} the law{H1882} of thy God{H426}, and the law{H1882} of the king{H4430}, let judgment{H1780} be{H1934}{(H8748)} executed{H5648}{(H8727)} speedily{H629} upon him{H4481}, whether{H2006} it be unto death{H4193}, or{H2006} to banishment{H8332}, or{H2006} to confiscation{H6065} of goods{H5232}, or to imprisonment{H613}. 27 Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of our fathers{H1}, which hath put{H5414}{(H8804)} such a thing as this in the king's{H4428} heart{H3820}, to beautify{H6286}{(H8763)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} which is in Jerusalem{H3389}: 28 And hath extended{H5186}{(H8689)} mercy{H2617} unto me before{H6440} the king{H4428}, and his counsellors{H3289}{(H8802)}, and before all the king's{H4428} mighty{H1368} princes{H8269}. And I was strengthened{H2388}{(H8694)} as the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} my God{H430} was upon me, and I gathered together{H6908}{(H8799)} out of Israel{H3478} chief men{H7218} to go up{H5927}{(H8800)} with me.
- Neh 2:6-9 : 6 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me,(the queen{H7694} also sitting{H3427}{(H8802)} by him{H681},) For how long shall thy journey{H4109} be? and when wilt thou return{H7725}{(H8799)}? So it pleased{H3190}{(H8799)}{H6440} the king{H4428} to send{H7971}{(H8799)} me; and I set{H5414}{(H8799)} him a time{H2165}. 7 Moreover I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, If it please{H2895}{(H8804)} the king{H4428}, let letters{H107} be given{H5414}{(H8799)} me to the governors{H6346} beyond{H5676} the river{H5104}, that they may convey me over{H5674}{(H8686)} till I come{H935}{(H8799)} into Judah{H3063}; 8 And a letter{H107} unto Asaph{H623} the keeper{H8104}{(H8802)} of the king's{H4428} forest{H6508}, that he may give{H5414}{(H8799)} me timber{H6086} to make beams{H7136}{(H8763)} for the gates{H8179} of the palace{H1002} which appertained to the house{H1004}, and for the wall{H2346} of the city{H5892}, and for the house{H1004} that I shall enter into{H935}{(H8799)}. And the king{H4428} granted{H5414}{(H8799)} me, according to the good{H2896} hand{H3027} of my God{H430} upon me. 9 Then I came{H935}{(H8799)} to the governors{H6346} beyond{H5676} the river{H5104}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} them the king's{H4428} letters{H107}. Now the king{H4428} had sent{H7971}{(H8799)} captains{H8269} of the army{H2428} and horsemen{H6571} with me. 10 When Sanballat{H5571} the Horonite{H2772}, and Tobiah{H2900} the servant{H5650}, the Ammonite{H5984}, heard{H8085}{(H8799)} of it, it grieved{H3415}{(H8799)} them exceedingly{H7451}{H1419} that there was come{H935}{(H8804)} a man{H120} to seek{H1245}{(H8763)} the welfare{H2896} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.
- Esth 8:1-9 : 1 On that day{H3117} did the king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325} give{H5414}{(H8804)} the house{H1004} of Haman{H2001} the Jews{H3064}' enemy{H6887}{(H8802)} unto Esther{H635} the queen{H4436}. And Mordecai{H4782} came{H935}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the king{H4428}; for Esther{H635} had told{H5046}{(H8689)} what he was unto her. 2 And the king{H4428} took off{H5493}{(H8686)} his ring{H2885}, which he had taken{H5674}{(H8689)} from Haman{H2001}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} it unto Mordecai{H4782}. And Esther{H635} set{H7760}{(H8799)} Mordecai{H4782} over the house{H1004} of Haman{H2001}. 3 And Esther{H635} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} yet again{H3254}{(H8686)} before{H6440} the king{H4428}, and fell down{H5307}{(H8799)} at{H6440} his feet{H7272}, and besought{H2603}{(H8691)} him with tears{H1058}{(H8799)} to put away{H5674}{(H8687)} the mischief{H7451} of Haman{H2001} the Agagite{H91}, and his device{H4284} that he had devised{H2803}{(H8804)} against the Jews{H3064}. 4 Then the king{H4428} held out{H3447}{(H8686)} the golden{H2091} sceptre{H8275} toward Esther{H635}. So Esther{H635} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the king{H4428}, 5 And said{H559}{(H8799)}, If it please{H2896} the king{H4428}, and if I have found{H4672}{(H8804)} favour{H2580} in his sight{H6440}, and the thing{H1697} seem right{H3787}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the king{H4428}, and I be pleasing{H2896} in his eyes{H5869}, let it be written{H3789}{(H8735)} to reverse{H7725}{(H8687)} the letters{H5612} devised{H4284} by Haman{H2001} the son{H1121} of Hammedatha{H4099} the Agagite{H91}, which he wrote{H3789}{(H8804)} to destroy{H6}{(H8763)} the Jews{H3064} which are in all the king's{H4428} provinces{H4082}: 6 For how{H349} can I endure{H3201}{(H8799)} to see{H7200}{(H8804)} the evil{H7451} that shall come{H4672}{(H8799)} unto my people{H5971}? or how{H349} can I endure{H3201}{(H8799)} to see{H7200}{(H8804)} the destruction{H13} of my kindred{H4138}? 7 Then the king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Esther{H635} the queen{H4436} and to Mordecai{H4782} the Jew{H3064}, Behold, I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} Esther{H635} the house{H1004} of Haman{H2001}, and him they have hanged{H8518}{(H8804)} upon the gallows{H6086}, because he laid{H7971}{(H8804)} his hand{H3027} upon the Jews{H3064}. 8 Write{H3789}{(H8798)} ye also for the Jews{H3064}, as it liketh{H2896} you{H5869}, in the king's{H4428} name{H8034}, and seal{H2856}{(H8798)} it with the king's{H4428} ring{H2885}: for the writing{H3791} which is written{H3789}{(H8737)} in the king's{H4428} name{H8034}, and sealed{H2856}{(H8737)} with the king's{H4428} ring{H2885}, may no man reverse{H7725}{(H8687)}. 9 Then were the king's{H4428} scribes{H5608}{(H8802)} called{H7121}{(H8735)} at that time{H6256} in the third{H7992} month{H2320}, that is, the month{H2320} Sivan{H5510}, on the three{H7969} and twentieth{H6242} day thereof; and it was written{H3789}{(H8735)} according to all that Mordecai{H4782} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} unto the Jews{H3064}, and to the lieutenants{H323}, and the deputies{H6346} and rulers{H8269} of the provinces{H4082} which are from India{H1912} unto Ethiopia{H3568}, an hundred{H3967} twenty{H6242} and seven{H7651} provinces{H4082}, unto every province{H4082} according to the writing{H3791} thereof, and unto every people{H5971} after their language{H3956}, and to the Jews{H3064} according to their writing{H3791}, and according to their language{H3956}. 10 And he wrote{H3789}{(H8799)} in the king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325}' name{H8034}, and sealed{H2856}{(H8799)} it with the king's{H4428} ring{H2885}, and sent{H7971}{(H8799)} letters{H5612} by{H3027} posts{H7323}{(H8801)} on horseback{H5483}, and riders{H7392}{(H8802)} on mules{H7409}, camels{H327}, and young{H1121} dromedaries{H7424}:
- Ps 2:10-12 : 10 Be wise{H7919}{(H8685)} now therefore, O ye kings{H4428}: be instructed{H3256}{(H8734)}, ye judges{H8199}{(H8802)} of the earth{H776}. 11 Serve{H5647}{(H8798)} the LORD{H3068} with fear{H3374}, and rejoice{H1523}{(H8798)} with trembling{H7461}. 12 Kiss{H5401}{(H8761)} the Son{H1248}, lest he be angry{H599}{(H8799)}, and ye perish{H6}{(H8799)} from the way{H1870}, when his wrath{H639} is kindled{H1197}{(H8799)} but a little{H4592}. Blessed{H835} are all they that put their trust{H2620}{(H8802)} in him.

- Ps 72:9-9 : 9 They that dwell in the wilderness{H6728} shall bow{H3766}{H8799)} before{H6440} him; and his enemies{H341}{H8802)} shall lick{H3897}{H8762)} the dust{H6083}. 10 The kings{H4428} of Tarshish{H8659} and of the isles{H339} shall bring{H7725}{H8686)} presents{H4503}: the kings{H4428} of Sheba{H7614} and Seba{H5434} shall offer{H7126}{H8686)} gifts{H814}. 11 Yea, all kings{H4428} shall fall down{H7812}{H8691)} before him: all nations{H1471} shall serve{H5647}{H8799)} him.
