Dalphon

Meaning: the house of caves · Male · 1 cross reference

Dalphon is one of Haman's sons named among those killed when the Jews are delivered in Esther. He belongs to the defeated household of the book's chief enemy. First appears in Esth 9:7.1

AI summary: Dalphon matters because his single cross reference places him within the collapse of Haman's line after the plot against the Jews is overturned. The entry helps give concrete form to the reversal at the heart of Esther's story. Taken together, the material presents Dalphon as part of the ruined house of Haman.1
