3. And all the princes of the provinces and the chief rulers and the governors and they who attended to the king's business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
4. For Mordecai was great in the king's palace; and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai became more and more powerful.
5. So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering and destroying them, and did as they chose with those who hated them.
6. In Shushan, the capital itself, the Jews slew and destroyed 500 men.
7. And they killed Parshandatha,
8. Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia,
9. Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai,
10. And Vaizatha, the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but on the spoil they laid not their hands.
11. On that day the number of those who were slain in Shushan, the capital, was brought before the king.
