📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set during the Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, the Jewish people faced a deadly plot by Haman, the king's advisor, to annihilate them. Esther, a Jewish queen, and her cousin Mordecai exposed the scheme, leading to a royal decree that allowed the Jews to defend themselves against their attackers. This verse lists some of Haman's sons who were killed as part of the Jews' successful counterattack.
