provinces
A province is a large area into which some countries are divided for the purposes of government. See how you translated this in Esther 1:1.
to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them
"to fight their enemies"
who tried to bring disaster on them
"who tried to destroy them"
No one could stand against them
"No one could resist the attack of the Jews" or "No one could successfully fight against the Jews"
the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples
"all the peoples had become very afraid of the Jews"
