Old Testament

Zeresh

The wife of Haman who advised him to build a gallows to execute Mordecai.

Zeresh was the wife of Haman the Agagite, serving as a confidante who encouraged her husband's pride and hatred toward Mordecai. She suggested the construction of a fifty-cubit gallows for Mordecai's execution, demonstrating her alignment with Haman's malicious agenda. Her later prediction that Haman would fall before the Jew Mordecai highlights the inevitable collapse of those who oppose God's people.
