Auch die übrigen Juden, die in den Ländern des Königs waren, kamen zusammen und standen für ihr Leben ein und verschafften sich Ruhe vor ihren Feinden, und sie töteten von ihren Feinden 75,000; aber an ihre Güter legten sie die Hand nicht.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
gathered themselves: Esther 9:2, Esther 8:11
stood: Esther 8:11, Leviticus 26:7, Leviticus 26:8
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.
