Esther 9:11
"On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. Either by order of the king, that he might know how

many enemies the Jews had in the city, and how many of subjects had been slain; or officiously by others, with an intention to irritate the king against the Jews.
