Harbona

하르보나

Named at Esther 1:10 among the seven eunuchs. At 1:10–11, on the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, “he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, to bring Vashti the queen before the king wearing the royal crown”; and at 1:12 “the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs.” The Korean Revised Version reads 어전 내시 (the eunuchs of the king’s presence) and does not name Ahasuerus at 1:10. Esther 7:9 says, “Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, ‘Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.’ The king said, ‘Hang him on it!’”, where the Korean Revised Version writes the name 하르보나 and has the king name Haman (하만을 그 나무에 달라).

    10On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

    11to bring Vashti the queen before the king wearing the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful.

    12But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.

    7The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

    8Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.

    9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!”

    10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
