Esther 9:16

וּשְׁאָ֣ר הַיְּהוּדִ֡ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּמְדִינ֣וֹת הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ נִקְהֲל֣וּ וְעָמֹ֣ד עַל נַפְשָׁ֡ם וְנ֣וֹחַ מֵאֹיְבֵיהֶ֡ם וְהָרֹ֣ג בְּשֹׂנְאֵיהֶ֡ם חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים אָ֡לֶף וּבַבִּזָּ֡ה לֹ֡א שָׁלְח֣וּ אֶת יָדָֽם׃
vshʾar hayhvdiym ʾasher bimdiynvot hamelek niqhalv vʿamod ʿal napsham vnvoḥa meʾoybeyhem vharog bshonʾeyhem ḥamishah vshibʿiym ʾalef vbabizah loʾ shalḥv ʾet yadam
King James Version (KJV)

But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

Modern English

Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered to defend their lives, and got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they laid no hands on the plunder.
