Esther 3:9-11
Common English Bible
9 If the king wishes, let a written order be sent out to destroy them, and I will hand over ten thousand kikkars of silver[a] to those in charge of the king’s business. The silver can go into the king’s treasuries.”
10 The king removed his royal ring from his finger and handed it to Haman, Hammedatha the Agagite’s son, enemy of the Jews. 11 The king said to Haman, “Both the money and the people are under your power. Do as you like with them.”
