The designation of Haman (Es 3:1,10; 8:3,5; 9:24). Josephus (Ant. XI. vi. 5) calls him an Amalekite. The epithet in Esther indicates that, as Agag was Saul's adversary, so Haman was the foe of this other Benjamite. The Septuagint reads Bugaios, Es 3:1; 8:5, omits at Es 3:10, and at Es 9:24, EST 16:10 has Macedonian, a word of evil connotation after Antiochus Epiphanes.
