Parshandatha

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Parshandatha is the first-named of the ten sons of Haman the Agagite killed at Susa during the Jewish self-defense in Esther.

Son of Haman

The name appears once, opening the list of Haman's sons slain on the thirteenth of Adar: "And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha," (Esth 9:7). Parshandatha is recorded without any further description of his life or role; the verse simply places him at the head of the roster of Haman's ten sons whose deaths are tallied in the chapter.
