46
Therefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.
47
Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once and, dispersing themselves through the city, slew that day in the city up to the number of a hundred thousand.
48
Also they set fire to the city and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.
49
So when they of the city saw that the Jews had gotten the city as they wanted, their courage was abated. Therefore they made supplication to the king and cried, saying,
50
Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us and the city!
