Esther 9:7-14
New King James Version
7 Also Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha— 10 (A)the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews—they killed; (B)but they did not lay a hand on the [a]plunder.
11 On that day the number of those who were killed in [b]Shushan the [c]citadel [d]was brought to the king. 12 And the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now (C)what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done.”
13 Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do again tomorrow (D)according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons (E)be hanged on the gallows.”
14 So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

Esther 9:7-14
New International Version
7 They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha, 10 the ten sons(A) of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews.(B) But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.(C)
11 The number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king that same day. 12 The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman in the citadel of Susa. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? It will also be granted.”(D)
13 “If it pleases the king,” Esther answered, “give the Jews in Susa permission to carry out this day’s edict tomorrow also, and let Haman’s ten sons(E) be impaled(F) on poles.”
14 So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they impaled(G) the ten sons of Haman.
