46. And the king fled into the court of the palace, and they of the city seized the passages of the city, and began to fight.
47. And the king called the Jews to help him, and they were gathered together to him all at once, and they dispersed themselves in the city, and killed that day to the number of a hundred thousand.
48. And they set the city on fire, and got many spoils that day, and saved the king.
49. And they of the city saw that the Jews had made themselves masters of the city as they would, and they waxed faint in their hearts, and they cried out to the king with supplication, saying,
50. Give us your right hand, and let the Jews cease from fighting against us and the city.
51. And they cast away their arms, and made peace; and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and before all that were in his kingdom; and they returned to Jerusalem, having many spoils.
