Contextual Overview

1 Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's mitzvah and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Yehudim hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Yehudim had rule over those who hated them,) 2 the Yehudim gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Achashverosh, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen on all the peoples. 3 All the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those who did the king's business, helped the Yehudim; because the fear of Mordekhai was fallen on them. 4 For Mordekhai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordekhai grew greater and greater. 5 The Yehudim struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those who hated them. 6 In Shushan the palace the Yehudim killed and destroyed five hundred men. 7 Parshandata, and Dalfon, and Aspata, 8 and Porata, and Adalyah, and Aridata, 9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizata, 10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedata, the Yehudi's enemy, killed they; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 7-10. And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they,.... Along with the five hundred men, at the head of which they were:

but on the spoil laid they not their hands; though they were allowed by the edict to do it, Esther 8:11, but this they did not, that it might appear that they did not take away their lives from a covetous desire of their estates, but purely in self-defence; and they might do this, the more to ingratiate themselves to the king, to whom the goods and estates of those men would be confiscated.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Most of these names are Persian, and readily traceable to Old Persian roots.

Esther 9:10

On the spoil laid they not their hand - As they might have done (see the margin reference).
