Esther 9:5-14

5And the JewsH3064 smote all their enemiesH341 with the stroke of the swordH2719, and with slaughterH4347 and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hatedH8130 them. 6And in Shushan the palace the JewsH3064 slewH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376. 7And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 8and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 9and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha, 10the tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of Hammedatha, the Jews’H3064 enemy, slewH2026 they; but on the spoil they laid not their handH3027.

11On that dayH3117 the numberH4557 of those that were slainH2026 in Shushan the palace was broughtH935 before the kingH4428. 12And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436, The JewsH3064 have slainH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376 in Shushan the palace, and the tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001; what then have they done in the restH7605 of the king’sH4428 provincesH4082! Now what is thy petitionH7596? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy requestH1246 further? and it shall be done. 13Then saidH559 EstherH635, If it please the kingH4428, let it be granted to the JewsH3064 that are in Shushan to do to-morrow alsoH1571 according unto this day’sH3117 decree, and let Haman’s tenH6235 sonsH1121 be hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086. 14And the kingH4428 commanded it soH3651 to be done: and a decree was givenH5414 out in Shushan; and they hangedH8518 Haman’s tenH6235 sonsH1121.
