6-10 They killed 500 people in Susa,[a] but they did not take anything that belonged to the ones they killed. Haman had been one of the worst enemies of the Jews, and ten of his sons were among those who were killed. Their names were Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.

If that many were killed here, what must have happened in the provinces? Is there anything else you want done? Just tell me, and it will be done.”
