Contextual Overview

1Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's word and law had reached the point for them to be done, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was turned around so that the Jews themselves gained power over those who hated them. 2The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to send forth their hand against those who sought their calamity; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples. 3Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who were doing the king's work advanced the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them. 4Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and the report about him went throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater. 5Thus the Jews struck all their enemies with the sword, killing and causing them to perish; and they did what they pleased to those who hated them. 6And at the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and caused to perish 500 men, 7and Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha, 10the 10 sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' adversary; but they did not send forth their hand for the plunder.

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).
