Event

The king commands it and a decree is given out in Susa, and the Jews who were in Susa kill three hundred men on the fourteenth day of Adar

왕이 조서를 수산에 내리고 수산에 있는 유다인이 아달월 십 사일에 또 삼백인을 도륙함

Esther 9:11–15: on that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa is brought before the king. The king says to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.” Then Esther says, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.” The king commands this to be done. A decree is given out in Susa; and they hang Haman’s ten sons. The Jews who were in Susa gather themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and kill three hundred men in Susa; but they don’t lay their hand on the plunder. Where WEB’s king says “including the ten sons of Haman” (9:12), the Korean Revised Version reads 오백인을 죽이고 멸하고 또 하만의 열 아들을 죽였으니 (killed and destroyed five hundred, and also killed the ten sons of Haman); at 9:13 and 9:14 it speaks of 하만의 열 아들의 시체, and it has the king allow it to be done (그대로 행하기를 허락하고).
