13 And Esther said, “If it please the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow also to do according to this day’s edict. And let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows.”¹ 14 So the king commanded this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hanged.

11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, ^rthe number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and ^show he had advanced him above the officials and the servants of the king.
