SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:15
Y los judíos que estaban en Susa, se juntaron también el catorce del mes de Adar, y mataron en Susa trescientos hombres; mas en el despojo no metieron su mano.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 9:15
Verse 15. And slew three hundred men] 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, begs that this second day be added to the former permission. This being accordingly granted, they found three hundred more, in all eight hundred. And thus Susa was purged of all their enemies.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar , etc.] As they had on the thirteenth: and slew three hundred men at Shushan ; the Targum adds, of the family of Amalek: but there is no reason to confine it to them; it respects all such as were the enemies of the Jews, and rose up against them; so that the whole number slain in Shushan were eight hundred persons, besides the sons of Human: but on the prey they laid not their hand ; (see Gill on “ Esther 9:7”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-19 - The enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them by the forme edict. If they had attempted nothing against the people of God, the would not themselves have suffered. The Jews, acting together strengthened one another. Let us learn to stand fast in one spirit, an with one mind, striving together against the enemies of our souls, wh endeavour to rob us of our faith, which is more precious than ou lives. The Jews, to the honour of their religion, showed contempt of wordly wealth, that they might make it appear they desired nothin except their own preservation. In every case the people of God shoul manifest humanity and disinterestedness, frequently refusing advantage which might lawfully be obtained. The Jews celebrated their festiva the day after they had finished their work. When we have received grea mercies from God, we ought to be speedy in making thankful returns to him.
