Where is esther in the bible

Esther was a young Jewish woman who married King Xerxes of Persia and, thanks to her position as queen, managed to save the Jewish people from extermination. We find Esther's story in the Old Testament of the Bible, in the book that bears her name.

Esther, also known as Hadassah, was an orphaned Jewish girl raised by her cousin Mordecai after losing her parents.

She lived in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Xerxes. The story of how she became queen begins with the deposing of Queen Vashti, or rather, it starts with a grand feast.

The book of Esther begins with a lavish banquet hosted by King Xerxes for all the princes, governors, and other important people in his vast kingdom.

At that time, the Persian Empire was enormous, and Xerxes’ influence extended to many countries.

During the feast, which lasted many days, the king asked his wife, Vashti, to appear before everyone wearing her crown to display her beauty, but she refused.
