Aridatha

Male · 1 cross reference

Aridatha is one of Haman's sons named among those killed when the Jews are delivered in Esther. He belongs to the doomed household of the book's chief enemy. First appears in Esth 9:8.1

AI summary: Aridatha matters because his single cross reference places him among the sons of Haman, showing that the reversal in Esther extends to the collapse of the enemy's house. The entry gives concrete shape to the final overturning of the plot against the Jews. Taken together, the material presents Aridatha as part of the defeated lineage of the book's central antagonist.1
