All the governors of the provinces, the military commanders, the regional officials, and the king's officers helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai's power and influence.

⚡ EN RESUMEN

The writer is showing how God turned the situation completely around - now all the government officials were helping the Jews instead of opposing them because they feared Mordecai's authority.

📚 Historical Context

This takes place during the Persian Empire under King Xerxes, when Mordecai had been promoted to second-in-command after Haman's downfall. The Jews had been given permission to defend themselves against their enemies on the day originally planned for their destruction. Government officials throughout the vast Persian Empire now supported the Jews because Mordecai held such high position and power.
