SRB26
Efter detta upphöjde kung Ahasveros agagiten Haman, Hammedatas son, till en position över alla andra furstar som var hos honom.
SKB
Efter denna händelse befordrade kung Ahasveros (Xerxes) Haman, son till Hammedata, agagiten, och placerade honom på platsen över alla furstar som var med honom. [Händelsen som refereras till är att Mordochaj har räddat kungens liv, se Est 2:21-23. Läsaren anar att allt inte står rätt till. Borde inte Mordochaj fått någon belöning eller erkännande för att ha räddat kungens liv? Istället introduceras en helt annan person – Haman. Oavsett om Haman var aktivt inblandad i att tysta ner Mordochajs roll, eller om det varit en byråkratisk miss, uppdagas detta av kungen senare (Est 6:1-3) och Mordochaj blir belönad. I vers 7 har det gått fyra år sedan Ester blev drottning, Est 2:16. Händelserna i Est 2:19-23 och Est 3:1-6 inträffar någon gång under denna fyraårsperiod (479 – 474 f.Kr.). Haman introduceras som ”agagiten”, en medveten referens till konflikten mellan israeliterna och amalekiterna. Konflikten härrör från uttåget när israeliterna stred mot Amalek, se 2 Mos 17:16; 1 Sam 15:2. Bileam förutspår att Israels kung ska bli större än ”Agag”, se 4 Mos 24:1, 7. Saul som var en benjaminit, se 1 Sam 9:1-2, fick i uppdrag att förgöra amalekiterna, men gör det inte trots att han vinner striden, se 1 Sam 15. Kopplingen mellan benjaminiten Mordochaj, se Est 2:5, och agagiten Haman förbereder läsaren på en kommande konfrontation i någon form. Namnet Haman betyder: Magnifik, praktfull och fantastisk. På arameiska betyder det: halsband, kedja, smycke; men även ”av främmande ursprung”. Haman har flera anspelningar på Lucifer, se Jes 14:12, och har även en parallell med vad som hände med hans söner, se Jes 14:21 och Est 9:10.]
