Bible Person

Bigtha

Male · 1 cross reference

Bigtha is one of the chamberlains serving King Ahasuerus in Esther 1. He belongs to the palace setting that frames the early tensions of the book of Esther. First appears in Esth 1:10.1

AI summary: Bigtha matters because his single cross reference places him among the officials sent to summon Vashti, a small but telling part of the chain of events that reshapes the Persian court. The entry helps show how the book's turning points move through named servants as well as royal figures. Taken together, the material presents Bigtha as a palace official within Esther's court narrative.1
