   Esther had probably been informed by Mordecai, that there were
   still many enemies of the Jews who sought their destruction,
   who had escaped the preceding day; and therefore begged that
   the second day might be added to the former permission; and
   that the sons of Haman, who had already been slain, might be
   suspended on gibbets, as a terror to those who sought the
   destruction of the Jews.

 * according unto.
  8:11 
 * let Haman's ten sons be hanged.  Heb. let men hang Haman's
   ten sons.
