Esther 9:10

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

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 9:10. The ten sons of Haman — Their names are given above. And it is remarked here, and in Esther 9:16, where the account is given of the number slain in the provinces, that the Jews laid no hands on the spoil. They stood for their lives, and gave full proof that they sought their own personal safety, and not the property of their enemies, though the decree in their favour gave them authority to take the property of all those who were their adversaries, Esther 8:11.
