  • The book of Esther should be called the book of Ahasuerus.
    he was a king and that book is about his life, in which Esther played a part. Even though it carries a women's name it was about a king.


  • Todd Palin.


  • Ahasuerus


  • I know it was the king during the Jew's exile in Babylon.Don't remember his name.He chose Esther, right?


  • See the Book of Esther, chapter 1.

    By the way, what's with all the questions?


  • Was it Sir Elton John?


  • A lot of kings have and some still do.


  • Ahasuerus. The queen he chose was Esther.

    Est 2:1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
    Est 2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
    Est 2:3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given [them]:
    Est 2:4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.


  • Mswati III, King of Swaziland


  • Ahaseurus (sp?) Or Xerxes? I'm not sure without looking it up. But the ex-wife was Vashti; I remember that much. And I know the name of the contest winner, but I'll keep mum about that for now.
