“The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.”
And the verse concludes the listing of Haman's sons and the mention of the spoil that was not taken. The consistent refusal to take spoil throughout the conflict demonstrates a principle that guides the Jewish response: they are fighting for survival and justice, not for personal enrichment or economic gain. The verse shows how the motivation for armed resistance determines its moral character and ultimate justification.
