The eunuchs in the Persian court were often entrusted with significant responsibilities, including managing the king's harem and serving as royal attendants. The mention of Zethar highlights the multicultural and hierarchical nature of the Persian court, where individuals from various backgrounds served the king.<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>Zethar (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">זֵתַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>an eunuch of Ahasuerus</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm">Esther 1:10</a> (Opp<sup>Esth. 25</sup> compare Persian <i><em>zaitar</em></i>, <em>conqueror</em>).<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>Zethar <p>Of Persian origin; Zethar, a eunuch of Xerxes -- Zethar. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>זֵתַ֣ר זתר zê·ṯar zeTar zêṯar<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">בִּגְתָ֤א וַאֲבַגְתָא֙ <b> זֵתַ֣ר </b> וְכַרְכַּ֔ס שִׁבְעַת֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Abagtha, <span class="itali">Zethar</span> and Carkas,<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and Abagtha, <span class="itali">Zethar,</span> and Carcas,<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Bigtha Abagtha <span class="itali">Zethar</span> and Carkas the seven<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2242.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2242.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2242<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/zetar_2242.htm">zê·ṯar — 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/2241.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2241"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2241" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2243.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2243"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2243" /></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>
