What happened in king ahasuerus REIGN BETWEEN 486-483 BC?
According to Talmudic tradition, King Ahasuerus (Achashverosh; Persian "Chshiarsh") reigned around 360 to 350 BCE. He was the one who cooperated with Haman in plotting to kill all the Jews in the vast empire. The holiday of Purim celebrates the nullifying of that plot.
What nationality was king Ahasuerus?
King Ahasuerus was the king of 127 provinces stretching from India to Ethiopia (Esther ch.1). In the Hebrew Bible his name is vocalized as Achashverosh. He is the "Chshiarsh" of the inscriptions, which was pronounced "Charchash" (Xerxes) in Greek.He ruled from his throne at the fortress of Susa (Ancient Iran; aka Persia). He was a fickle king, at first agreeing to Haman's request to kill all the Jews but later having Haman hung.
What did Queen Esther eat on her fast?
Answer 1Esther was hoping that God would take pity on her plight to approach King Ahasueros without being summoned and cause him to raise his scepter to her. Otherwise, she would be going to her death.The text of the Book of Esther clarifies the situation:Esther 4:11,15-16 (NIV): 11 "All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king"...15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."Answer 2Well I think Queen Esther fasted because; when you fast you give up food for some days or hours you do it to show God you love Him an you Live on Him so when you fast intead of eating you read the Bible or worship or pray to God!Additional Facts:When Esther fasted, it was a three-day fast. She had all the Jews, in Babylon also fast, for the same three days & nights. Then, three days later, after the fast, she risked her life in going to Ahasuerus' throne, without permission, in order to create a plan to rid the Jews & Ahasuerus of Haman's evil plan. Especially when she had it prepared "just for Haman" and catch Haman was off-guard. Haman, atfirst was feeling like a "Special Guest", during the first day of the feast. During that feast, there were just Esther, Haman & King Ahasuerus. During the second day of the feast, Ahasuerus repeated his question to Esther, of why she dared to go to his throne, she told him she would answer the question, the next day. And when the three were alone, as Ahasuerus asked the question, Esther told Ahasuerus, that she was a Jewess & Haman's plot would kill her & all the Jews, in Babylon. Ahasuerus, after hearing this, was irate & quickly left the table & went outside the palace room, to cool his temper. [After he left Haman begged Esther to spare him & he was kneeling beside Esther.] When Ahasuerus returned, inside and seeing Haman plead for his life beside Esther, a eunuch told King Ahasuerus of the gallows, that Haman had constructed, Ahasuerus had Haman hanged on the gallows, that he wanted to hang Mordecai, just because Mordecai did not bow before him. Final Facts: Haman schemed to have all the Jews in Babylon to be killed. [When Mordecai told that Haman's eunuchs, that he was a Jew].PS: In Esther Chapter 2; Mordecai rescued Ahasuerus' life, overhearing two eunuchs & doorkeepers, Bigthan & Teresh's plot to kill King Ahasuerus & he told Esther, then Esther told Ahasuerus of their scheme. In Esther Chapter 6, Mordecai was rewarded with what Haman had planned & hoped for himself! How this occurred was that King Ahasuerus was reminded of Mordecai's good deed & Haman had just arrived to the palace, to make a request, to hang Mordecai, shortlly after the gallows, he had planned on killing Mordecai, for he could not wait & try to "exterminate" Mordecai. But before he could make his request, King Ahasuerus asked Haman's advice, for a reward. (When Haman answered King Ahasuerus' question, he was extremely high, on pride. After Haman gave his answer, King Ahasuerus quickly ordered Haman to lead Mordecai, down Shushan streets with what Haman hoped, was for him). A: To get one of Ahasuerus' horses. B: A well-designed Persian robe, of King Ahasuerus. C: Be led by a high-classed prince, or officer. D: The officer was to verbally proclaim "This is the way the king honors his faithful servants"=======================================So, in sum, what you have here in response to the question, is-- three lines saying "I don't know but I'll tell you what I think", followed by-- 35 more lines recounting the story as stream-of-consciousness.Amazing!

What did Esther do that was so important?
Esther knew about Haman's plot to kill her people, so she went to king Xerxes without permission, which would usually end in the king killing you. You had to have a lot of guts to stand up for your people when your life is on the line. Esther was the heroine and central figure in the Biblical book of Esther. She was a beautiful Jewish woman, the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). She and her cousin Mordecai persuaded the king to cancel an order for the extermination of the Jews in his wide realm, plotted by the king's chief minister, Haman. Instead, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and the Jews were given permission to destroy their enemies. The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates this event. According to tradition, the book of Esther was written in the 4th century BCE. Additional facts: Esther was a Jewess, who lived during the Babylonian exile. When Queen Vashti refused to go to Ahasuerus (in Chapter 1), Memucan, a Persian wise man, advised King Ahasuerus to remove Vashti from being Queen of Persia, and King Ahasuerus agreed to his advice. In Esther Chapter 2, royal eunuchs advised Ahasuerus to look for a new queen, a virgin. Esther was the best looking one, and Ahasuerus picked her to replace Vashti. When Esther was orphaned, she was then adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who became her foster father.
Who was haman?
Haman was the son of Hammedatha the Agagite. He and his wife Zeresh instigate a plot to kill all of the Jews of ancient Persia. Haman attempted to convince Ahasuerus to order the killing of Mordecai and all the Jews of the lands he ruled. The plot was uncovered by Queen Esther, the king's recent wife, who was also a Jew. Haman is hanged from the gallows that had originally been built to hang Mordechai.
What was the nationality and history of Esther?
The Book of Esther says that Esther was a Jewess living in Babylon. When King Ahasuerus divorced his first wife, Vashti, the book says that the king slept with all the virgins in the kingdom until he found Esther to satisfy him the most, making her his queen. The book goes on to describe how she helped save the Jews from a dastardly plot and then petitioned the king to be allowed more time to kill as many enemies as possible.King Ahasuerus would seem to be the Hebrew name for King Xerxes of Persia. Much of the rest of the story conflicts with what we know of King Xerxes. His first wife was really named Amestris, and she 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 Esther's cousin, Mordecai, is identified as having been sent into exile by Nebuchadnezzar - an event that must have place over a century before Xerxes assumed power.The Book of Esther can not really be considered to be based on actual history.Answer:According to tradition, Esther was the heroine and central figure in the Biblical book of Esther.

When Esther was orphaned, she was then adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who became her foster father.Esther was queen for about 11 years.The Book of Esther makes it clear that this was not in the early part of Xerxes's reign.The name of Mordechai is considered identical to the name Marduka, which is attested as the name of officials in the Persian court in the Persepolis Texts from the period of Xerxes I. One of these officials might very well be the biblical Mordecai.The grave of Mordecai and Esther still stands in Hamadan; and the Jews of Iran, to this day, are referred to as "the children of Esther."
