Why did King Xerxes castrate the eunuchs?
King Xerxes of Persia castrated eunuchs primarily to ensure their loyalty and eliminate any potential threat to his power. By removing their ability to father children, he made them less likely to establish rival factions or dynasties. Eunuchs often held significant positions in the royal court, and their castration reinforced their dependence on the king for their status and livelihoods. This practice was common in various ancient cultures to control and utilize individuals in specific roles without the risk of familial ambitions.

The text does not mention any children from this union or any mention of a stepson. Therefore, any claims about her having a stepson are not supported by the scriptural account.

Where in the Bible can you read about the eunuch?
Eunuchs were males deprived of testes or external genitals and then the title of a specific government office (Gen. 37:36 and 39:1 refer to a married man), so that any specific usage can refer to one or both definitions. Eunuchs were excluded from serving as priests (Lev. 21:20) and from membership in the congregation of Israel (Deut. 23:1). Eunuchs were regarded as especially trustworthy in the Ancient Near East and thus were frequently employed in royal service. The Greek term translated eunuch is literally one in charge of a bed, a reference to the practice of using eunuchs as keepers of harems (Esther 2:3,6,15).
