How many years did King Ahaseurus search for a new queen?
Esther chapter 2 tells us that when the wrath of the king was appeased, the king's servants brought fair young virgins from around the kingdom, for King Ahaseurus to choose. Overall, the story suggests that it could not have been a very long time before he chose Esther. However, we have no ancient source other than the Book of Esther to make this judgement. The name Ahaseurus corresponds to the Persian King Xerxes, but historians say that he was never married to any queen called either Vashti or Esther. Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign.
