It refers specifically to one of the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. The name appears in the context of the royal court, indicating a position of some authority and trust.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Book of Esther, where Karkas is mentioned, is set during the reign of King Ahasuerus, traditionally identified with Xerxes I, who ruled the Persian Empire from 486 to 465 BC. Eunuchs were often employed in royal courts in the ancient Near East due to their perceived loyalty and inability to establish a competing dynasty. They held various roles, from guardians of the harem to high-ranking officials. The mention of Karkas among the seven eunuchs highlights the structured and hierarchical nature of the Persian court.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a eunuch of Ahasuerus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Carkas (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כַּרְכַּס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> Persian, <font size="+1"><b>a eunuch of Ahasuerus</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm">Esther 1:10</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">כִּרְכָּרוֺת</font> see [<font class="hebrew2">כִּדְכָּרָה</font>] below <font class="hebrew2">כרר</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Of Persian origin; Karkas, a eunuch of Xerxes: <p>Of Persian origin; Karkas, a eunuch of Xerxes: <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְכַרְכַּ֔ס וכרכס vecharKas wə·ḵar·kas wəḵarkas<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 1:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וַאֲבַגְתָא֙ זֵתַ֣ר <b> וְכַרְכַּ֔ס </b> שִׁבְעַת֙ הַסָּ֣רִיסִ֔ים</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Zethar <span class="itali">and Carkas,</span> the seven<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Zethar, <span class="itali">and Carcas,</span> the seven<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Abagtha Zethar <span class="itali">and Carkas</span> the seven eunuchs<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3752.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3752.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3752<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vecharkas_3752.htm">wə·ḵar·kas — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/3751.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3751"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3751" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3753.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3753"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3753" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
