At sa paghahari ni Ahasuero, sa pasimula ng kanyang paghahari, ay sumulat sila ng isang paratang laban sa mga naninirahan sa Juda at Jerusalem.
Esther
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hamdatha, oppressor of the Jews, [(those who had written a libel against Judah and Jerusalem to halt the rebuilding of the Temple [viz. Ezra 4:6]. After the death of Koresh, when Achashverosh reigned and Haman rose to power, they wrote in the name of Achashverosh to the officers across the river to halt the building)], [("the ten sons of Haman")] they killed; and they did not stretch forth their hand to the spoils [(so that the king not begrudge them their wealth)].
