## Esther 3:17 in Context (Verses 14–15 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/esther/3/14) The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/esther/3/15) The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
