10 (A)the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews—they killed; (B)but they did not lay a hand on the [a]plunder.

11 On that day the number of those who were killed in [b]Shushan the [c]citadel [d]was brought to the king. 12 And the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now (C)what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done.”
