It refers to one of the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia.

The Persian Empire was a dominant world power at the time, and the king's court was known for its opulence and complex bureaucracy. Eunuchs like Abagtha held significant positions of trust and responsibility, often serving as personal attendants to the king and managing various aspects of the royal household.<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>Abagtha (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">אֲבַגְתָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (Persian compare <font class="hebrew2">בִּגְתָא</font>) eunuch of Ahasuerus <a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm">Esther 1:10</a>. <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>Abagtha <p>Of foreign origin; Abagtha, a eunuch of Xerxes -- Abagtha. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וַאֲבַגְתָא֙ ואבגתא vaavagTa wa’ăḇaḡṯā wa·’ă·ḇaḡ·ṯā<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">חַרְבוֹנָ֜א בִּגְתָ֤א <b> וַאֲבַגְתָא֙ </b> זֵתַ֣ר וְכַרְכַּ֔ס</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Bigtha, <span class="itali">Abagtha,</span> Zethar<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Bigtha, <span class="itali">and Abagtha,</span> Zethar,<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Harbona Bigtha <span class="itali">Abagtha</span> Zethar and Carkas<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vaavagta_5.htm">wa·’ă·ḇaḡ·ṯā — 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/4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6" /></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>
