SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–19: The Jews killed their enemies

When the chosen day arrived, the Jews organized themselves, fought their enemies, and killed many of them. Then Esther begged the king to allow the Jews in Susa to fight their enemies again on the following day. He agreed. After that the Jews celebrated.

9:11

On that day the number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king,

¶ On that same day people told the king how many people the Jews had killed in Susa.

citadel of Susa: See note on 1:2.
