Definitions for Esther 9:10
Clarke's Esther 9:10 Bible Commentary
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 favor gave them authority to take the property of all those who were their adversaries, Esther 8:11.
Barnes's Esther 9:10 Bible Commentary
On the spoil laid they not their hand - As they might have done (see the margin reference).
Wesley's Esther 9:10 Bible Commentary
9:10 But, &c. - Because they would leave it to their children, that it might appear what they did was not done out of malice, or covetousness, but out of mere necessity, and by that great law of self - preservation.
