What were the circumstances that led to Esther being chosen to be Queen?
In the Book of Esther, Queen Vashti was disobedient to King Ahasuerus and was banished.

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.
