Twelve months of cosmetics: six months of treatment with oil of myrrh and six months of spices and cosmetic agents.
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".
No such event is recorded in the Scroll of Esther. It was Queen Vashti, not the king, who was killed by royal decree.
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.
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.
