What happened to Esther after Vashti was reinstated?
After Vashti was reinstated, Esther remained in the royal palace, but her future took a significant turn when King Xerxes chose her as his new queen, replacing Vashti. This decision came after a search for a new queen, during which Esther, who had been raised by her cousin Mordecai, won the king's favor. As queen, Esther later played a crucial role in saving her people, the Jews, from a plot against them orchestrated by Haman.
How did the king in the book of Esther decide how to choose his wife?
According to the book of Esther, Queen Vashti was executed after she refused to come in front of the Persian King Achashverosh. Once Vashti was executed, the king needed a new wife. Achashverosh had all of the beautiful unmarried women in the country brought to the palace to participate in a beauty pageant during which he chose Esther to be his new bride. However, Esther wasn't chosen because she was the most beautiful. Prior to the pageant, all of the women were offered their choice of jewels, clothing, and beauty treatments. Esther though, didn't ask for anything and it was her modesty and inner beauty that caused the king to choose her.
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.
How did Esther become queen?
The Book of Esther tells of Esther, the cousin and adopted daughter of Mordecai the Jew, becoming the new wife of King Ahasuerus 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.

What was the name of the queen who saved her people?
A:In the Book of Esther, Queen Esther saves her people from an evil plot to assassinate them all. Although described in the Book of Esther as King Xerxes' second wife and therefore queen, Esther was never really his queen. 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. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel.Answer:Hadassah or Esther, who was a young Jewish girl of the Israelite tribe of Benjamin, an orphan raised by her older cousin Mordecai in Persia. When the Persian emperor Ahasuerus (Xerxes) sought a new queen, Esther was among those selected to be presented before him. After many months of preparation, he chose her as one of his wives and as the new queen:Esther 2:15-18New King James Version (NKJV) 15 Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her. 16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 17 The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. 18 Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.
Where was Esther born in the Old Testament?
Aside from the question of whether Esther was a historical person, there is no discussion of where she was born. It was likely, though, that she was from a small village near Shushan, Persia, given that she was near to the King's palace when he began looking for a new queen.
How did Esther risk her life?
The three-day fast that Esther decreed for herself and all the other Jews (Esther 4:16) were days of prayer and repentance, just like every other Jewish fast throughout history. Also, Esther could have remained safe in her opulent palace as the Jews were slaughtered (Esther 4:13), but instead she risked her life to intercede for them (Esther 4:16), which was an act of faith in God.See also:More about Esther
Is it possible that Esther did not have sexual relations with the Persian king Ahasueras that night she went to him?
First of all, if the Book of Esther is a true story, then there is no possibility that King Ahasueras did not have sex with Esther the night she went to him. The whole point of the night was for the king to find out who pleased him sexually. And a king who did not perform on the night could risk ridicule in the corridors of the palace. On the other hand, there is every reason to believe that the Book of Esther was originally a work of fiction that achieved an honoured place in Jewish literature because it lionised the Jews, even though it contains no mention of God. As a work of fiction, we can make our choice when reading the Book of Esther - did she have sexual relations or not?
