Ester 9:6

6 Y en Susa capital del reino, mataron y destruyeron los judíos a quinientos hombres

Ester 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 9:6

And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five
hundred men.
] Not in the royal palace, where it cannot be thought the Jews had so many enemies, or such a bloody slaughter of them should be made there; but in the city, where the palace was: and this may seem somewhat wonderful, that there should so many rise there against the Jews, so near the court, now altogether in the interest of the Jews; but these were men no doubt of Haman's faction, and enraged at his disgrace and death, and headed by his ten sons, who took the advantage of the decree to avenge his death; the Targum says, these were princes of the house of Amalek.
