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).
