No such event is recorded in the Scroll of Esther. It was Queen Vashti, not the king, who was killed by royal decree.
Xerxes the Great and his son Darius was killed by the kings guard, Artabanus. The murder was an attempt to get the throne.
Xerxes, King of Armenia, died in August 466 BC. He recognized Antiochus as his sovereign and received his sister Antiochia as his bride. She assassinated him. In 465 BCE, Xerxes of Persia was assassinated, most likely by the order of one of his sons. Artaxerxes is believed to have been behind the assassination. Whether or not he ordered the assasination, he took the throne following his father's death.
someone, If go by The Bible then it would be Esther
Xerxes the first
King Xerxes.
Not sure. Did Esther love Xerxes? There is NO reference in the book of Esther that Esther loved the King of Persia - Xerxes.
There is NO reference in the book of Esther that Esther loved the King of Persia - Xerxes, but because of her beauty Esther had a strong influence on King Xerxes that is why her story is in the Bible.
In the King James version, in Psalms 99:5,9. Also, in Proverbs 4:8. These verses don't actually start with the letter x, but the reference to the letter is used in the words "except" and "exhault".
there is none?!
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..
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.
King Xerxes was assassinated in 465 BCE, stabbed by the captain of the guards.
Esther was a young Jewish woman who became the queen of Persia. She was raised by her cousin Mordecai who was a minor official at the palace of Xerxes the Persian King. Xerxes divorced his wife and chose Esther to be the new queen.
Yes he is.
Esther replaced Queen Vashti as queen after Queen Vashti refused to come to the King's banquet.
Esther's husband was Ahasuerus king of Persia-supposed to be the Xerxes of history and dwelt at "Shushan the Capital" (ancient Susa).
Xerxes was king of Persia 486-465 BCE. He and his wife, Amestris, are known to have had two sons, Darius and Artaxerxes, but a third son is also mentioned by Diodorus - Hystaspes. There is no reliable record of any daughters.
