The verse 6 is found in chapter 9 of Esther. In Susa many enemies are killed, including Haman's ten sons. The text specifies that the Jews do not take the plunder, even though they were authorized to do so. This detail distinguishes the defense from a pursuit of enrichment and directly addresses a possible economic interpretation of the conflict.

Und zu Schloß Susan erwürgten die Juden und brachten um fünfhundert Mann;
Y en Susán capital del reino, mataron y destruyeron los Judíos a quinientos hombres.

Ed in Susan, stanza reale, i Giudei uccisero e distrussero cinquecent’uomini;
E na fortaleza de Susã os judeus mataram e destruíram quinhentos homens;
在 書珊 城堡中, 猶太 人殺滅了五百人。
