Esther 9:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² The king told Queen Esther, “In Susa the capital the Jewish people have killed and destroyed 500 people, including Haman’s ten sons. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what’s your petition? It will be given to you. What’s your further request? It will be done.”

¹³ Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it also be granted to the Jewish people in Susa to do tomorrow what the edict allowed them to do today,^[a] and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged^[b] on poles.”

¹⁴ The king said, “Let this be done.” So an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman’s ten sons were hanged^[c] on poles.
