Context: Hathak is mentioned in the Book of Esther, specifically in Esther 4:5-6. He is a eunuch serving in the court of King Ahasuerus and is appointed to attend to Queen Esther. In the narrative, Hathak acts as a messenger between Esther and Mordecai, conveying messages during a critical moment when the Jewish people face the threat of annihilation due to Haman's plot. Esther 4:5-6 (BSB) states: "Then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to her, and she dispatched him to Mordecai to learn what was troubling him and why. So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the king’s gate."
