* If it please the king.
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.
