Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king said unto Esther the queen,.... After the account had been brought in to him:
the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace; the Targum adds, of the seed of Amalek:
and the ten sons of Haman: which very probably were all he had; though the Targum, in Esther 9:14, makes mention of seventy sons that Zeresh his wife fled with:
what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? that could not be said; but it might be concluded, that if so many were slain in Shushan, the number must be great in all the provinces:
now what is thy petition and it shall be granted thee: or "what is thy request further? and it shall be done"; if this was not sufficient and satisfactory, whatever else she should ask for should be granted.
