Who did Esther replace as queen?
Esther replaced Queen Vashti as queen after Queen Vashti refused to come to the King's banquet.
Who did Vashti marry?
Vashti married King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I), as stated in the Book of Esther in the Bible. She was the first queen mentioned in the book.
What did Esther do after king Xerxes was assassinated?
No such event is recorded in the Scroll of Esther. It was Queen Vashti, not the king, who was killed by royal decree.
Why did Vashti refuse the summons of King Xerxes?
Vashti refused the summons of King Xerxes to appear before him and his guests because she did not want to be put on display as an object to be looked at and judged solely based on her physical beauty. She valued her dignity and autonomy as a queen and did not want to be degraded in front of the king's drunken guests.
Where is vashti found in The Bible?
The name Vashti appears as the name of the first queen of the Persian king Achashverosh, in the apocryphal book of Esther. The name Vashti came from an Elamite goddess. The king has been identified by some as Xerxes. Some important contemporary women with that name include Vashti McKenzie, the first female Bishop of the AME church, Vashti McCollum, who won a landmark US Supreme Court case in 1948, and folk singer Vashti Bunyan.
What happened in the first chapter of the Book of Esther?
Chapter 1 of the Book of Esther begins by telling us that in the third year of the reign of King Ahasuerus of Persia, he held a feast in his palace. His wife, Queen Vashti made a feast for the women in the royal house. On the seventh day of the feast, the king commanded that Vashti be brought before him to show to the people, but she refused to come. Troubled, Ahasuerus asked his wise men what he should do. They said that unless he divorced Vashti, all the women in the empire would begin to disobey their husbands. The name Ahasuerus is universally believed to be the Hebrew name for King Xerxes, who ruled Persia from 486 to 465 BCE. However, Xerxes' wife at the time was not Vashti, but Amestris. Amestris remained queen well beyond the third year of Xerxes' reign, so there can have been no Queen Vashti nor, it seems, a Queen Esther.
Who are these bible people hathach vashti ahasuerus xerxes and how do they relate to esther?
Hatach was the messenger between Mordecai and Esther. Vashti was the Queen whose reign was given to Esther. Ahaseurus (who is traditionally identical with Xerxes) made Esther his Queen.
Who was the king who organised a beauty contest to pick a bride?
This story is in the Book of Esther, which says that King Xerxes chose Esther from all the most beautiful virgins in the empire, after he divorced his first wife, Vashti. However, 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, this beauty contest did not really happen.
Who in the Bible defiles and disrespects her royal husband and is replaced by a foreign woman?
In the Book of Esther, Vashti, wife of King Xerxes, showed disrespect to him and was replaced by the beautiful Jew, Esther. Historians say that the wife of Xerxes I was really Amestris and that she was not replaced, so this is not a historical account.
What queen in the bible scorned her husband?
Queen Vashti refused to attend a banquet at her husband Xerxes I request.
What was Xerxes king of?
Xerxes was the king of ancient Persia.
Was queen vashti killed?
Yes, Vashti was executed for disobeying King Achashverosh.
