Audio Bible Context The Jews Destroy Their Enemies…7including Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.… Cross References Esther 3:13 And the letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces with the order to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—and to plunder their possessions on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month. Esther 8:11 By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions. Esther 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided. Esther 4:14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 2:10 Esther did not reveal her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had instructed her not to do so. Esther 5:14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed. Esther 6:13 Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.” Esther 1:19 So if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti shall never again enter the presence of King Xerxes, and that her royal position shall be given to a woman better than she. Esther 10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen. Esther 2:22 When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she informed the king on Mordecai’s behalf. Esther 3:6 And when he learned the identity of Mordecai’s people, he scorned the notion of laying hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the kingdom of Xerxes. Esther 8:17 In every province and every city, wherever the king’s edict and decree reached, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many of the people of the land themselves became Jews, because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them. Esther 4:16 “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!” Esther 5:2 As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip of the scepter. Esther 6:10 “Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.” Treasury of Scripture And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, Jump to Previous Jump to Next Esther 9 1. The Jews slay their enemies, with the ten sons of Haman.12. Xerxes, at the request of Esther, 14. grants another day of slaughter, and Haman's sons to be hanged. 20. The two days of Purim are instituted. Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha These names are listed among the ten sons of Haman, who were killed by the Jews in the citadel of Susa. The mention of these names highlights the complete downfall of Haman's lineage, which is significant in the narrative of Esther. Haman, an Agagite, was an enemy of the Jews, and his defeat is seen as a divine reversal of fortune. The names themselves, while not carrying specific meanings in the biblical text, are indicative of Persian influence, reflecting the setting of the story in the Persian Empire. This event fulfills the theme of justice and retribution found throughout the book of Esther, where the plans of the wicked are overturned by God's providence. The destruction of Haman's sons can be seen as a parallel to the fate of the Amalekites, whom King Saul was commanded to destroy completely, as Haman is traditionally considered a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king. This connection underscores the ongoing biblical theme of God's protection and deliverance of His people from their enemies. Persons / Places / Events 1. ParshandathaOne of the ten sons of Haman, an enemy of the Jews, who was executed as part of the Jews' victory over their adversaries. 2. Dalphon Another son of Haman, also executed.

Teaching Points God's Sovereignty and JusticeThe execution of Haman's sons demonstrates God's justice and His ability to protect His people. It serves as a reminder that God is in control, even when His people face seemingly insurmountable odds. The Reversal of Evil Plans The downfall of Haman's family illustrates how God can turn evil intentions into opportunities for His glory and the good of His people. Believers can trust that God will ultimately thwart the plans of the wicked. The Importance of Faithful Leadership Esther and Mordecai's roles in the deliverance of the Jews highlight the impact of faithful and courageous leadership. Christians are encouraged to stand firm in their faith and lead with integrity. The Legacy of Sin Haman's sons suffer the consequences of their father's sins, reminding us of the generational impact of sin. It is crucial to break cycles of sin and seek God's forgiveness and guidance. Parallel Commentaries ...
