Esther 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 9:11

On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the
palace was brought before the king.
] Either by order of the king, that he might know how many enemies the Jews had in the city, and how many of subjects had been slain; or officiously by others, with an intention to irritate the king against the Jews.

Esther 9:11 In-Context

9 et Phermesta et Arisai, et Aridai, et Iezatha.

10 Quos cum occidissent, praedas de substantiis eorum tangere noluerunt.

11 Statimque numerus eorum, qui occisi erant in Susan, ad regem relatus est.

12 Qui dixit reginae: In urbe Susan interfecerunt Iudaei quingentos viros, et alios decem filios Aman: quantam putas eos exercere caedem in universis provinciis? Quid ultra postulas, et quid vis ut fieri iubeam?

13 Cui illa respondit: Si regi placet, detur potestas Iudaeis, ut sicut fecerunt hodie in Susan, sic et cras faciant, et decem filii Aman in patibulis suspendantur.
