	Haman (Bible) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haman (Persian "magnificent") was a 6th Century BCE Persian noble and vizier of the empire under Persian King Ahasuerus, generally identified as Xerxes I.
		Haman was also an astrologer, and when he was about to fix the time for the massacre of the Jews he first cast lots to ascertain which was the most auspicious day of the week for that purpose.
		Haman is also mentioned six times in the Qur'an, as an intimate of Pharaoh and a sinner in the time of Moses.

		Haman is identified by the Talmudists with Memucan, the last of the seven princes "which saw the king's face" (Esth.
		Haman placed chains upon their necks and feet, and set guards over them, saying to himself, "I will first massacre these, and then I will hang Mordecai." It was the cry of these pupils ascending to heaven that brought about the sudden change in Haman's fate (Esth.
		Haman tried hard to avoid the humiliation of leading Mordecai through the streets of Shushan; he implored the king to spare him that disgrace and offered every kind of reparation to Mordecai, but the king remained inflexible (Targ.

		Haman is flattered to be invited to an exclusive feast with the King and Queen, but when he leaves the palace, his elation turns once more to rage when Mordechai again refuses to bow.
		Haman decides that he cannot wait until spring to be rid of Mordechai, and at the suggestion of his friends, he resolves to ask the King for permission to hang Mordechai from a 75 foot gallows immediately.
		Haman, thinking the King must be planning to honor him, advises the King to have the honoree be led through the capital city wearing the King's robes, riding the King's horse, led by the King's noblest prince.

	The Fall of Haman
		Haman, therefore, had to address himself to the pupils of Mordecai: "What was the last subject taught you by your teacher Mordecai?" They told him they had been discussing the law of the `Omer, the sacrifice brought on that very day so long as the Temple had stood.
		Haman was plunged in mourning, partly on account of the deep disgrace to which he had been subjected, partly on account of the death of his daughter.
		Haman and his ten sons remained suspended a long time, to the vexation of those who considered it a violation of the Biblical prohibition in Deuteronomy, not to leave a human body hanging upon a tree overnight.

		Haman’s edict permitting the slaughter of the Jews and confiscate their property was executed as a law of the Persians, which was irreversible (Esther 1:9; 3:10-11; 8:8).
		Haman probably cannot wait to repeat what he has rehearsed all night: Mordecai is a threat to the kingdom and a menace to society.
		Haman proposes a reward which will further stroke his own ego, and describes in great detail the honor he feels is appropriate for a loyal servant of the king.

		According to Jewish history Haman served as the minister of Ahasuerus (king of Persia, Xerxes I is his name in Greek).
		Furthermore, in the Qur'an Haman is ordered by Pharaoh to build a tower reaching into heaven ("the Tower of Babel") which is a well known story of an event that took place long before Abraham, who lived at least 400 years before Moses.

		Haman couldn't imagine who the king would want to honor besides him, so he said that this man should be given royal apparel and one of the king's horses, on which he should ride through the city.

	Haman's Disgrace
		Haman's untoward presence on the queen's couch, which bring about the death sentence, is caused by an angel who throws him on it; Haman is declared to be an accomplice in the plot which Mordecai discovered, and this is the reason for his enmity; the speeches are greatly expanded, particularly Haman's pathetic plea for mercy.
		Haman stood before Esther weeping and begging her to forgive his sin and intercede for him with the king.
		In the original story Haman's falling on the couch is a gesture of supplication which the king, with a typical lack of comprehension, interprets as attempted rape, the last thing that Haman might have been expected to be thinking about under the circumstances.

		Haman himself gives expression to his tremendous power and wealth (Esther 5:11-12): "Haman told (his wife and friends) of his glorious wealth, his many sons, and all the power that the King had granted him; that he had elevated him above all the officials and royal servants.

		Haman's conflict with Mordechai, however, was based on the philosophical differences of the two nations.
		Throughout the Megillah there is an underlying struggle of Haman trying to show that he controls his own destiny, and the destiny of the empire, only to be foiled by the subtle plans of G-d.

		Had Haman not been thoroughly convinced of her loyalty and trustworthiness he would have sent out spies to find out what she was up to.

	Bible Study - April 2004
		Haman was the one who wielded the greater political might and his cruel edict to annihilate the Jews had quickly been sanctioned by the king and communicated throughout the empire.
		Haman, too, is present at the scene, waiting impatiently in the courtyard to gain approval for the latest machination of his evil heart: a 50 cubit gallows on which he might execute his personal vendetta against Mordecai.
		The only (crucial) difference is that in one, Haman is in power and the Jews’ fate looms ever larger, whereas in the other, it is Mordecai who leads, and the Jews’ salvation draws ever closer until it is finally achieved.

		The beating of Haman was not a universally accepted practice, and in some communities it was considered a flagrant violation of synagogue decorum.

		This is intolerable to Haman, and perhaps why he didn't face it until it was brought out in the open in 3:4 (suggested by Eva Tavlin).
		Haman acted as Pharaoh, denying Mordechai's blatant opposition, but only to the point when the matter was no longer avoidable.

	Bible Study - Haman
		Haman was a high official, in effect the prime minister, of the Persian king Ahasuerus, also known as Xerxes (reigned 485-465 BC - see Ancient Empires - Persia).
		Haman is known to Bible History from the book of Esther where, because Esther's cousin Mordecai (who was in fact very loyal to the king himself) would not bow down to him, Haman spitefully tried, and failed, to destroy all Jews within the kingdom.
		"Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

		Here is Haman, a descendent of Agag, the Amalekite, the sworn enemy of God, who is plotting to destroy the people of God from the kingdom of Ahasuerus and to exalt himself.
		Then said Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high." And the king said, "Hang him on that." So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai.
