5. And the Yehuḏim smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, with slaughter and destruction, and did what they pleased to those who hated them.
6. And in the citadel of Shushan the Yehuḏim slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7. And they slew Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8. and Poratha, and Aḏalya, and Ariḏatha,
9. and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Ariḏai, and Wayezatha,
10. the ten sons of Haman son of Hammeḏatha, the enemy of the Yehuḏim. But they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
11. On that day the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Shushan came before the sovereign.
12. And the sovereign said to Sovereigness Estĕr, “The Yehuḏim have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the sovereign’s provinces? And what is your petition? And it is given to you. And what is your further request? And it is done.”
13. And Estĕr said, “If it pleases the sovereign, let it be given to the Yehuḏim who are in Shushan to do again tomorrow according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be impaled on the stake.”
14. And the sovereign commanded this to be done. And the decree was given in Shushan, and they impaled Haman’s ten sons.
15. And the Yehuḏim who were in Shushan also assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Aḏar and they slew three hundred men at Shushan. But they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
