Esther 9:6-14

6At the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and eliminated five hundred men, 7and they killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha, 101the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy; but 2they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

11On that day the number of those who were killed at the citadel in Susa 3was reported to the king. 12And the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and eliminated five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! 4Now what is your request? It shall also be granted you. And what is your further wish? It shall also be done.” 13Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, 5let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the wooden gallows.” 14So the king commanded that it was to be done so; and an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
