Asphatha is a Persian proper name, one of the ten sons of Haman the Agagite listed in Esther 9:7. The name likely derives from an Old Persian root related to a horse. His death alongside his brothers represented the complete defeat of the adversary who sought Israel's destruction.
The listing of Haman's ten sons by name in Esther 9:7–9 is theologically significant: it echoes the complete elimination of the Amalekite threat that Saul had failed to accomplish (1 Samuel 15). Queen Esther and Mordecai completed what Saul left undone. Each named son represents the thoroughness of God's justice — nothing of the enemy's house was left to threaten God's people. The names also remind readers that behind historical events stand real individuals, and God's providence operates at the level of persons, not just nations.
