  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

If it please the king: Esther had probably been informed by Mordecai, that there were still many enemies of the Jews who sought their destruction, who had escaped the preceding day; and therefore begged that the second day might be added to the former permission; and that the sons of Haman, who had already been slain, might be suspended on gibbets, as a terror to those who sought the destruction of the Jews.

according unto: Esther 8:11

let Haman's ten sons be hanged: Heb. let men hang Haman's ten sons, Deuteronomy 21:23, 2 Samuel 21:6, 2 Samuel 21:9, Galatians 3:13

Reciprocal: Esther 5:11 - the multitude Esther 9:15 - gathered themselves Esther 9:18 - on the thirteenth Esther 9:25 - when Esther came

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Esther, if it please the king,.... For she was all submission to his will:

let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan; for no further did she desire the grant to be extended:

to do tomorrow also according to this days decree; one Targum makes the request only that they might keep the morrow as a festival, but the other, more rightly, to do according to the decree of this day; which was, to slay as many of their enemies as rose up against them; and whereas many might flee and hide themselves, who were implacable enemies of the Jews, Esther moves for a grant that the decree might be continued for the next day, that these might be found out and slain; in which she sought the glory of divine justice, in their righteous destruction, and the peace of the people of God, and not private revenge, or to indulge malice:

and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows; on which their father was; this was deferred, though they were already slain, for their greater reproach, and for a terror to others not to injure the people of God; and it was usual with the Persians to hang persons on a gallows, or fix them to a cross, after they were dead; as Polycrates was by Oroites i, and Bagspates by Parysatis k.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 9:13. Let Haman's ten sons be hanged — They had been slain the preceding day, and now she requests that they may be exposed on posts or gibbets, as a terror to those who sought the destruction of the Jews.
