Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Persian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Medatha, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Book of Esther and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The name Medatha appears in the context of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to identify Haman, the antagonist in the story, as "Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite." Context: Medatha is mentioned in the Book of Esther as the father of Haman, who is described as "Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite." Haman is a central figure in the narrative, known for his plot to annihilate the Jewish people in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). The name Medatha itself does not carry a significant narrative role beyond its function as a patronymic identifier for Haman. The mention of Medatha serves to emphasize Haman's lineage and possibly his connection to the Agagites, a group historically at odds with the Israelites. The Book of Esther highlights the providential deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman's plot, a story commemorated in the Jewish festival of Purim.
