Who was Queen Esther married to?
A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen. The Book of Esther is not regarded by scholars as factual, and the marriage of Esther and Xerxes is not historical. King Xerxes was married to Queen Amestris at the very time that the book says he divorced Vashti and married Esther, and remained married to Amestris for at least the next several years.
What was Queen Esther's date of birth?
A:The Book of Esther does not tell us how old Esther was when she became queen to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), so it is not possible to say just when she was born. Historians say there never was a Queen Esther (or a Queen Vashti) of Persia, and biblical scholars say that the Book of Esther was actually a novel, written in the second century BCE, so we will never have a date of birth for Esther.
What is the importance of the Book of Esther in Jewish history?
A:History books record events known to have happened, along with interpretations of those events. When historians look at the Book of Esther, they realise that this is not a book of history, as there are far too many historical errors. Among other things, the chronology of Persian history is wrong and there is no historical record of Esther or of her predecessor, Vashti. Furthermore, Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. The consensus is that the Book of Esther is a second-century-BCE novel, written centuries after the events portrayed, and therefore not directly relevant to Jewish history.Even if the events portrayed in Esther really occurred, they ocurred in Babylon and would have had no effect in the Jewish homeland, Judah. However, the Book of Esther has had considerable impact on Jewish tradition and Jewish religious practice. The annual celebration of Purim is based on the book, which actually calls for a celebration of the events portrayed (Esther 9:26-32).Jewish answer:The importance of the Book of Esther is that its events show that God is with us even in times of Hester (Divine concealment during exile).
Did king Xerxes die with Queen Esther?
A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen, but the story ends with both Xerxes and Esther still alive so the question is unanswerable. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was really a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, so the question can not be answered from the historical record..
Is there any literature other than the Bible that talks about Esther having children?
There is no mention of this in the relevant scriptures. After Esther broke her secret that she was a Jewess, King Ahasuerus probably did not have more than one Hebrew Prince and one Hebrew Princess. Answer: Tradition states that Esther had (at least) one son.
