8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 the ten sons of Haman, the son of Hammedatha; the enemy of the Jews, they slew, but on the spoil they did not lay their hand.
11 On the same day the number of those that were slain in Shushan, the palace, was brought before the king.
12 And the king said unto Esther, the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan, the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what is thy petition, and it shall be granted thee? What is thy request further, and it shall be done?
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. {Heb. stake}
14 And the king commanded it to be so done; and it was given as law at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
