Esther 9:16

De overige Joden nu, die in de landschappen des konings waren, vergaderden, opdat zij stonden voor hun leven, en rust hadden van hun vijanden, en zij doodden onder hun haters vijf en zeventig duizend; maar zij sloegen hun hand niet aan den roof.

Reciprocal: Genesis 14:23 - That I Genesis 34:27 - spoiled Esther 9:10 - but on the spoil Esther 9:15 - but on the prey

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Seventy and five thousand - The Septuagint gives the number as 15,000; and this amount seems more in proportion to the 800 slain in Susa.
