Mehuman
One of the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus of Persia.
Mehuman was one of the seven chamberlains or eunuchs appointed by King Ahasuerus to serve in his presence. He is mentioned only in Esther 1:10, where he was commanded by the king to bring Queen Vashti before the royal assembly. His role highlights the administrative structure of the Persian court and the king's absolute authority over his household.
