Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Adalja, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.

Usage: Adalja is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Adalja is listed as one of the sons of Haman, the antagonist in the Book of Esther. Haman, an Agagite, is known for his plot to annihilate the Jewish people during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. Adalja, along with his nine brothers, was executed following the failure of Haman's plot and the subsequent victory of the Jews. This event is commemorated during the Jewish festival of Purim.
• The name appears in Esther 9:8, where the sons of Haman are named as part of the narrative detailing their downfall. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records this event as follows: "Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalja, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha."
• The historical and cultural context of the Book of Esther highlights the providence and deliverance of the Jewish people, with Adalja's mention serving as a testament to the reversal of fortunes orchestrated by divine intervention.
