They were not. There are ten chapters in Esther; and according to Jewish tradition, there were never more than that.
The proper question is the reverse question, Why does the Septuagint ADD six chapters that were not present in prior forms of the Book of Esther?
Judaism uses the older Masoretic Text from the Mesopotamian Region which is different than the Christians who used the Septuagint Translation (into Greek) from Alexandria, Egypt. It is notable that (in addition to being a translation) the Septuagint has an additional six chapters interspersed throughout the Book of Esther. Jerome, when compiling the Latin Vulgate noticed these additions and placed them at the end of the Latin translation as chapters 10:4-16:24.
