King Ahasuerus was a very powerful king. He ruled over a vast kingdom and was in absolute power and control. He was a very proud king and held a great feast to show off the glory and grandeur of his kingdom to his important subjects who had been invited to this feast. This celebration and feast lasted for over 6 months!
But something happened that spoiled the king’s happiness. He wanted to show off the beauty of his queen - Vashti - so he called her to come in before his guests. Vashti did a very bad thing. She refused to obey the king’s command.
Because of this, Ahasuerus’s wise men told him that he should not allow her to be queen anymore. Later, the king began a search for a new queen. And it was during this time that the beautiful Esther (who, unknown to the king, was a Jewess) was chosen by him as his queen.
