He was not a Jew, but the tyrannical King of the Persian Empire, and she was only the orphaned, teenaged daughter of a captive Jew. However, her background gave her strength. The marriage was arranged by the King as the first \"Miss World\" contest. Although he did not call his search for a wife by that name, he could have. The empire covered the known world, with 127 provinces stretching from India to Ethiopia. (Est. 1:1-2). Mordecai, the aged cousin who raised her, egged her into entering the contest, but he warned her Xerxes was a womanizer with a large harem. She scoffed at the idea that it would matter and reminded him, that Jewish King Solomon had 1000 wives. (I Kings 11:3-6).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authorhouse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611098103959,"sku":"9781434386984","price":1762.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781434386984.webp?v=1775069137","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/queen-esther-9781434386984","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
