The Book of Esther

In the sixth chapter, haman sees that mordecai gets honors. And this is a huge risk she's taking to go in and see the king. Only certain people had audiences with king. If you presumed that if you walked in to the king without invitation, it could have resulted in her being killed. That's the reversal of chapter eight. Now, the ninth after, the jews triumph over their enemies, so they get rest from their enemies. But they're doing some other things too, like they're slaying their foes. I'm just going to put that on the shelf now.
