Esther 9:12-15 Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman,––in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman,––in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed? ¹³ Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, tomorrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of today,––and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows. ¹⁴ And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan,––and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged. ¹⁵ So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men,––but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
