Chanuka Question Answered - רב בניו

The translation of “ רב בניו “  is not the majority of his children.
 In the Megillah(5:11) it says Haman told his wife and friends
את כבוד עשרו ורב בניו  .
The Ibn Ezra explains the wordרב  with two Peshatim  .
a.       The greatness of his sons
b.      The multitude of his sons
In the Piyut of Maoz Tzur we can say the same two Peshatim.
a.       The great sons were hung
b.      The sons who were from the multitude were hung

Some one wrote in, an answer he heard. (probably Purim Torah)
The 10 sons were decapitated first and then hung without their
heads.  רב בניו refers to the majority of the bodies of the 10, were

hung (headless)
