Esther 9:5
"Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction,.... Some with swords, and others with clubs, and staves; as the Targum; and

such like slaughtering weapons of destruction: and did what they would unto those that hated them; being then entirely at their will, and under their power.
