Em contexto
18Conversation grew on, and the king sent for Hermon, and enquired of him, with fierce denunciations, why the Jews had been allowed to outlive that day.
19Hermon explained that he had done his bidding over night; and in this he was confirmed by his friends.
20The king, then, with a barbarity exceeding that of Phalaris, said, That they might thank his sleep of that day. Lose no time, and get ready the elephants against to-morrow, as you did before, for the destruction of these accursed Jews.
21When the king said this, the company present were glad, and approved; and then each man went to his own home.
22Nor did they employ the night in sleep, so much as in contriving cruel mockeries for those deemed miserable.
