Usage: The name Biztha appears in the context of the Persian court, specifically in the Book of Esther.

Context: Biztha is one of the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. He is mentioned in the Book of Esther, chapter 1, verse 10. The eunuchs were responsible for attending to the king and carrying out his commands. In the narrative, Biztha is listed among the officials who were ordered by King Ahasuerus to bring Queen Vashti before him during a royal banquet. This event sets the stage for the subsequent events in the Book of Esther, where Esther becomes queen and plays a pivotal role in the deliverance of the Jewish people. The mention of Biztha highlights the grandeur and complexity of the Persian court, as well as the intricate social and political structures in place during the reign of Ahasuerus.
