📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Ahasuerus, Haman is a high-ranking official who harbors deep resentment toward the Jews, particularly Mordecai, for refusing to bow to him. After leaving a banquet hosted by Queen Esther, where he initially feels honored, Haman restrains his growing anger and returns home to gather his friends and wife for support. This moment highlights the cultural norms of ancient Persia, where seeking counsel from family and allies was common in times of personal conflict.
