The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
KJV
Festinabant cursores, qui missi erant, regis imperium explere. Statimque in Susan pependit edictum, rege et Aman celebrante convivium, et cunctis Judæis, qui in urbe erant, flentibus.
Vulgate
ἐσπεύδετο δὲ τὸ πρᾶγμα καὶ εἰς Σουσάν· ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἁμὰν ἐκωθωνίζοντο, ἐταράσσετο δὲ ἡ πόλις.
LXX
The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
