Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Persian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Charbona, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Book of Esther and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: This proper noun is used as a name for one of the eunuchs in the court of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) in the Book of Esther. Context: Charbona, also spelled Charbonah, is a eunuch mentioned in the Book of Esther, specifically in Esther 1:10 and Esther 7:9. He is one of the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus. In Esther 1:10, Charbona is listed among the eunuchs who were commanded to bring Queen Vashti before the king during a banquet. His most notable mention occurs in Esther 7:9, where he plays a pivotal role in the narrative. During the banquet where Queen Esther reveals Haman's plot against the Jews, Charbona informs the king about the gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai. This revelation leads to Haman's downfall, as the king orders Haman to be hanged on the very gallows he had constructed for Mordecai. Charbona's intervention is seen as a significant turning point in the story, highlighting the theme of divine justice and the reversal of fortunes.
