“But dissembling his anger, and returning into his house, he called together to him his friends, and Zares his wife:”
“restrained himself He strengthened himself to control his anger because he was afraid to take revenge without the sanction of the king. וַיִתְאַפַּק is eseretint in Old French, and he controlled himself.”
“And Haman told them of the glory of his riches,.... Of the multitude of them; which he did partly in a way of ostentation, and partly, if he could, to make his mind easy under the mortification he received from Mordecai; and, it may be, chiefly to aggravate his rudeness and ill behaviour towards him, a man of so much wealth: and the multitude of his children; he had ten, as we learn from Est 9:10, but the former Targum enlarges them, beyond credit, to the number of two hundred and eight, besides his ten sons, and Shimshai the scribe; such were had in great esteem with the Persians who had many children; to such the king used to send gifts annually (k): and all the things wherein the king had promoted him; the high offices of honour and trust he had put him into: and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. See Est 3:1. (k) Herodot, Clio, sive, l. 1. c. 136. Strabo. Geograph. l. 15. p. 504.”
The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
