Zeresh

Zeresh was the wife of Haman the Agagite who 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 plan was reversed when the king later ordered Haman to be hung on the same tree which he had 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.

Zeresh is able to give her husband great advice, she is the only one he will go too.
