Did king Xerxes die with Queen Esther?
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.

Did vashti queen of Persia have children?
The record of ('Queen') Vashti is in the book of Esther. She was the King's first wife, or queen consort, or most prominent/leading wife, but was deposed for disobedience to her husband, the King.

As she had incited the King's disfavor and been dismissed from the household, whatever happened to her after that was not considered significant enough to include in the bible record.

What was Queen Esther's date of birth?
A:The Book of Esther does not tell us how old Esther was when she became queen to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), so it is not possible to say just when she was born.
