So he got the pole ready.

And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king.Then I will bring back all the people to you.

Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.And the king said to Haman,“ The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you.”Then the king’s scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded— to the king’s satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language.

So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
