The Bible gives no details regarding her age. It does not even mention her death. And since scholars say that the Book of Esther was really a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, it would be pointless seeking extra-biblical evidence of Esther's life.

How long was Queen Esther married?

A:The Book of Esther places Esther during the reign of Xerxes, who was king of Persia from 486 to 465 BCE. The book says that the first wife of Xerxes, Queen Vashti, was banished in the third year of his reign and that Esther was selected as queen soon afterwards. The Book of Esther does not say whether Esther was queen fortheremainder of Xerxes' reign but, if so, she would have been queen for some 18 years. Scholars say there are good reasons to believe that the story is fictional and that there never was a Queen Esther of Persia. There is no historical record of either Vashti or Esther, and Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. From a historical perspective, Esther was never really a queen.


Where did Mordecai live in the Bible?

There were two men named Mordecai in the Bible. The first one assisted Zerubbabel is discussed in Nehemiah 7:5-7. The second is more well-known as he was discussed extensively in the Bible book of Esther. This Mordecai was a servant of King Ahaseurus of Persia and the cousin of Queen Esther. Mordecai was persecuted by the prime minister Haman the Agagite to the extent that Haman plotted to rid the land of Mordecai and all the Hebrews. Because of her great courage, Queen Esther was instrumental in exposing this plot and saved both Mordecai and her people.

How long was Esther Queen of Persia?

There was no King Ahasuerus of Persia, but many Bible commentaries observe that Ahasuerus is likely the Hebraicised version of King Xerxes, the Achaemenid leader who ruled from 486 to 465 BCE. Esther is unlikely to have been Xerxes'wife, because his only known wife, Amestris, continued in her role well beyond his third year as king (the date the text suggests Vashti was deposed). Other problems in the story call into question the story's reliability, for example Mordecai is identified as having been sent into exile by Nebuchadnezzar - an event that must have place over a century before Xerxes assumed power.

How long did the beauty treatments last for Queen Esther?

A:Esther 2:12 says that Esther was six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet odours. More than this we could not say. It must be remembered, as for example Leonard J Greenspoon says (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period), the Book of Esther was a novel. Historians know that there was no Queen Esther in the Persian Empire.
