에스더 9:13-16 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Esther 9:1-19

We have here a decisive battle fought between the Jews and their enemies, in which the Jews were victorious. Neither side was surprised; for both had notice of it long enough before, so that it was a fair trial of skill between them. Nor could either side call the other rebels, for they were both supported by the royal authority. I. The enemies of the Jews were the aggressors. They hoped, notwithstanding the latter edict, to have power over them, by virtue of the former (Est. 9:1), and made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 9:13

Then said Esther, if it please the king ,.... For she was all submission to his will: let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan ; for no further did she desire the grant to be extended: to do tomorrow also according to this days decree ; one Targum makes the request only that they might keep the morrow as a festival, but the other, more rightly, to do according to the decree of this day; which was, to slay as many of their enemies as rose up against them; and whereas many... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 9:14

And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan ,.... That the Jews might have leave to seek out and slay the rest of their enemies in Shushan, on the fourteenth day, in like manner as they had on the thirteenth: and they hanged Haman's ten sons ; on the same gallows very probably their father was hanged; the Targum gives us the distance between each person hanged thereon. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 9:15

For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar ,.... As they had on the thirteenth: and slew three hundred men at Shushan ; the Targum adds, of the family of Amalek: but there is no reason to confine it to them; it respects all such as were the enemies of the Jews, and rose up against them; so that the whole number slain in Shushan were eight hundred persons, besides the sons of Human: but on the prey they laid not their... read more

But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together ,.... In a body, in their respective provinces and cities: and stood for their lives ; defended themselves against those that attacked them: and had rest from their enemies ; that selfsame day; all being destroyed by them, and none daring to appear against them: and slew of their foes 75,000 men ; that is, in all the provinces put together: but they laid not their hands on the prey ; See Gill on... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 9:13

Let Haman ' s ten sons be hanged - They had been slain the preceding day, and now she requests that they may be exposed on posts or gibbets, as a terror to those who sought the destruction of the Jews. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 9:15

And slew three hundred men - Esther had probably been informed by Mordecai that there were still many enemies of the Jews who sought their destruction, who had escaped the preceding day; and, therefore, begs that this second day be added to the former permission. This being accordingly granted, they found three hundred more, in all eight hundred. And thus Susa was purged of all their enemies. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:1-16

Deliverance and victory. The history of "the chosen nation" is full of Divine deliverances. The present is only one of the many instances in which, by faith, the Israelites "escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." I. THE MEANS of the deliverance and victory here related. Royal authority primarily accounts for it. Only by the sanction of the king could the Jews dare to draw the sword and... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:13

Esther's request for a second day of slaughter has a bloodthirsty appearance; but, without a more complete knowledge of the facts than we possess, we cannot say that it was unjustifiable. It would seem that the Jews in Susa gathered themselves in the upper town on the appointed day, and were engaged there the whole day with their enemies. Esther asks that they may be allowed a second day—either in the upper or the lower town, it is not clear which to complete their work, and free themselves... read more
