How did the Hebrews and Persians interact?

The Persians, for a relatively brief time, had a vast kingdom which overlapped most of the areas in which Jews lived at the time. At first, they were cordial, as long as the Jews paid their taxes. Under Ahasuerus (Xšayārša; Xerxes), however, they were in peril when he granted wide power to the Jew-hating Haman. After the Jewish Queen Esther orchestrated Haman's destruction, the Jews rose to importance under the Persians, with the Jewish Mordecai serving as viceroy.
