1 sn There is great irony here in that the man who set out to destroy all the Jews now finds himself begging for his own life from a Jew. 2 tn Heb “for he saw that calamity was determined for him from the king”; NAB “the king had decided on his doom”; NRSV “the king had determined to destroy him.” |
