Usage: Dalphon is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is one of the ten sons of Haman, the antagonist in the Book of Esther. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in the biblical text, but it is part of the narrative that highlights the downfall of Haman and his family. Cultural and Historical Background: The Book of Esther is set in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Xerxes (Ahasuerus). Haman, an Agagite and a high-ranking official, plotted to annihilate the Jewish people. His plan was thwarted by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai, leading to Haman's execution and the subsequent downfall of his family. The account is commemorated in the Jewish festival of Purim, which celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from their enemies.
