In Nehemiah 26 why was it mentioned that the Queen was sitting beside the King?
Under normal circumstances in oriental, and more specifically the Persian courts it was not customary for the queen to be present at judgment time or dining with the king. The only logical answer is if she had found some special favor with the king and thus had gained entry at this time, or if she perhaps had some insight into this matter. I believe, then though I am no expert, that artaxerxes and ahasureus were the same, and as nehemiah states it was the 20th year of his reign, that the queen would have been Esther. This would explain the favorable attitutude of the king towards the Jews return, and also of the compltion of GOd placing Esther on the throne, toaid in the return of His people.
Did Esther Nehemiah and Daniel live at the same time?
Daniel probably died shortly after Darius took the throne in 521 BC (he would have already been well over 90 years old at this point). The book of Nehemiah begins in 444 BC, so they probably missed each other by at least 50 years. Esther was a teenager in 482 BC, so Daniel had likely been dead for about 25 years at this point. Esther would have been in her early to mid 60's when the book of Nehemiah began, although her husband, King Xerxes was assassinated 20 years earlier (he was probably bout 20-25 years older than her (do the math a 37 year old king marrying a 14 year old or so, Esther...yuck...that's not what they showed in the movie). Anyway, there's no record of whether Esther was assassinated with her husband (which was likely), or if she was assumed in to the next King's harem (also possible...although a Persian King would have probably not been interested in a 35 year old, non-virgin wife. We just don't know. So, we know that Daniel was dead long before Esther was born and I'm going to guess that Esther probably died with her husband in 464 BC. Since Nehemiah was a leading figure in Jerusalem by 432 BC, I'm going to guess that he was born before 464 BC, so yes they probably lived at the same time. Nehemiah probably knew of Queen Esther before she died (I'm guessing she died in 464 BC) and maybe even met her a few times when He was a young boy. That being said, Esther probably didn't live to see the events of the book of Nehemiah, unless she survived the assassination, in which case she and Nehemiah may have known each other personally. I'm also guessing that Nehemiah was probably not around when the events of Esther took place or at the very least was too young to remember them clearly.

Is King Xerxes the one who sent Nebuchadnezzar back to Jerusalem?
A:Nebuchadnezzar reigned as king of Babylon from 605 to 562 BCE, and was defeated by King Cyrus the Great of Persia. Xerxes I was king of the Persian Empire from 486 to 465 BCE. Thus, Xerxes did not become king until almost eighty years after the death of Nebuchadnezzar, and could not have sent him to Jerusalem. Another thought:The one you may be thinking of is Artaxerxes Longimanus, (the successor of Xerxes), who is remembered for authorizing Ezra's return to Jerusalem around 468 BCE. (Ezra 7:1-26 / Ezra 8:24-36)

In the book of Nehemiah chapter 2 verse 6 why did Nehemiah mention that the Queen was sitting by the King?
What was the name of the Queen in Nehemiah 1-3 R. A. Torrey's Treasury of Scripture Knowledge states, "It was probably Esther who was present at this time, and who seconded Nehemiah's request." Ray C. Steadman writes, "That queen, I believe, was Queen Esther, the Jewish maiden who had been raised to this prominent position by the grace of God. Neither Artaxerxes nor Ahasuerus are the names of this king. That is what is so confusing. These are really titles. Artaxerxes means "the great king" and Ahasuerus means "the venerable father." These were not the king's given names. It may or may not be helpful to know that this Artaxerxes and Ahasuerus are also Darius the Mede of the book of Daniel." Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary states, "The queen referred to was probably Esther, whose presence would tend greatly to embolden Nehemiah in stating his request."
Why was Nehemiah afraid when Artaxerxes asked him why he looked so sad?
The ancient Kings were totalitarian rulers who could order instant death for anyone if that was what they wanted. It would have been 'poor etiquette' to appear sad in the Artaxerxes' presence and this could have had a bad end for Nehemiah. The fact that he showed his feelings enough to be noticed gave Nehemiah undoubted cause for concern. Evidently though, his previous good service had held him in good favor with the King and so it led to a good outcome, with God's help as well of course.
