Zeresh

Zeresh

Zeresh was the wife of Haman the Agagite whom is mentioned in the Old Testament in the Book of Esther.

Zeresh advised her husband to prepare a high tree and to hang Mordechai on it. This advice returned on him like a boomerang when the king eventually ordered Haman to be hung on the same tree which he prepared for Mordechai.

Although it was written in the Old Testament that Haman and his ten children were hung on the tree, it isn't mentioned what became of Zeresh.
