Story in this passage
The Jews defend themselves
On the day chosen for their destruction, the Jews assemble and overpower their enemies. Officials support them because Mordecai’s influence has grown. The Jews kill those who attack them, including Haman’s ten sons, but do not take the plunder. Esther requests a second day in Susa and the public display of Haman’s sons’ bodies.
- Setting
- Throughout the Persian empire on the day fixed by Haman’s decree.
- Main events
- The Jews defend themselves, Haman’s sons are killed, the dead are counted, and Esther secures another day of action in Susa.
- Why it matters
- The threatened destruction is reversed, while the refusal to take plunder distinguishes the action from a raid for gain.
This overview paraphrases the cited passage in the World English Bible.
