Esther 3:9-11
International Standard Version
9 If the king approves, let it be decreed[a] that they’re to be destroyed, and I’ll measure out 10,000 silver talents[b] and bring it to the king’s treasury for those who will do the work.”
10 The king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Hammedatha the Agagite’s son Haman, the enemy of the Jewish people. 11 The king told Haman, “The silver is given to you, along with the people, to do with them as you see fit.”
