Parmashta

Parmashta (meaning: stronger than all or strong-fisted) was one of the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jewish people in the court of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes). Following the reversal of Haman's plot against the Jews — when the king's decree permitted the Jewish people to defend themselves — Parmashta and his nine brothers were slain in Shushan the palace on the thirteenth day of Adar (Esther 9:9).

His death, along with that of his brothers and father, is presented in the book of Esther as the vindication of the Jewish people and the just consequence of the murderous plot Haman had devised. The ten sons of Haman are listed by name in Esther 9:7–10 as a permanent record of the defeat of those who sought Israel's destruction. Their names may be of Persian or Babylonian origin.
