The mention of his name signifies the complete downfall of Haman's lineage, which is significant in the context of the Jewish victory over their enemies. The name itself, like many in the Persian context, may have cultural or linguistic roots that reflect the era's naming conventions. The destruction of Haman's sons fulfills the retributive justice theme prevalent in the narrative, where the evil intended for the Jews is turned back on their oppressors.<p><b>Arisai</b><br>Arisai, another son of Haman, represents the continuation of the theme of divine justice. The listing of Haman's sons by name emphasizes the thoroughness of the Jews' victory and the eradication of the threat against them. This reflects the biblical principle that God protects His people and ensures the downfall of those who plot against them, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/psalms/37-12.htm">Psalm 37:12-15</a>, where the wicked's plans are turned against them.<p><b>Aridai</b><br>Aridai's inclusion in the list of Haman's sons highlights the complete reversal of fortune for Haman's family. The narrative underscores the idea that those who oppose God's people will ultimately face judgment. This is consistent with the broader biblical narrative where God delivers His people from their enemies, as seen in the stories of the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan. The historical context of the Persian Empire, where the story is set, adds depth to the understanding of the power dynamics at play.<p><b>Vaizatha</b><br>Vaizatha, the last of Haman's sons mentioned, completes the list and signifies the totality of the judgment against Haman's house. The execution of Haman's sons can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and evil, where the enemies of God's people are decisively defeated. This reflects the eschatological hope found in Revelation, where Christ triumphs over all evil. The cultural context of the Persian Empire, with its emphasis on lineage and legacy, further underscores the significance of the eradication of Haman's line.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/parmashta.htm">Parmashta</a></b><br>One of the ten sons of Haman, an enemy of the Jews, who was executed as part of the Jews' victory over their adversaries.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/arisai.htm">Arisai</a></b><br>Another son of Haman, included in the list of those who were killed by the Jews.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/aridai.htm">Aridai</a></b><br>Also a son of Haman, sharing the same fate as his brothers.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/v/vaizatha.htm">Vaizatha</a></b><br>The last of Haman's sons mentioned in this verse, who was also executed.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_event.htm">The Event</a></b><br>The execution of Haman's ten sons, which was part of the Jews' defense against their enemies during the time of Esther and Mordecai.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_justice.htm">Divine Justice</a></b><br>God's justice may not be immediate, but it is certain.
