‏ Esther 8:11

8:11  a The king’s decree did not permit the Jewish people to start a war but to defend themselves and plunder the property of those who attacked them (reversing the decree in 3:13  b).

• The phrase kill, slaughter, and annihilate is an ironic repetition of the words in Haman’s original edict (3:13  c; see also 9:5  d).
