- By this time Haman had become Prime Minister and he decided that, given his rise in power, it would be appropriate for everyone to bow down to him. But Mordechai refused. Haman was enraged and asked the King to authorize a royal decree to annihilate all the Jews.
- Hi, i'm going to tell you the story of Queen Esther...
- Long ago, in a country called Persia, there was a king named Achashveyrosh and a queen named Vashti. King Achashveyrosh ordered his wife to appear before him at a party so he could flaunt her beauty. When she refused, the king was furious. To make matters worse, the king had a rather nasty advisor, Haman. He relentlessly teased the king, saying he couldn't believe he'd let his wifes disrespect go unpunished. At Haman's urging, King Achashveyrosh ordered that his wife be put to death. The king, however, wasn't happy for long without a queen, so he ordered a search through the kingdom for a beautiful girl to be his bride. It wasn't too long before the King's scouts happened upon Esther.
- Esther was a young, beautiful woman living with her uncle Mordecai, the leader of the Jews. As soon as Mordecai caught wind that the king was looking for a new bride, he changed her name from Hadassah (her jewish name) to Esther
- When the king saw Esther, he knew she was the one he wanted. She was beautiful.
- She is beautiful. This is the one! Esther will be the new queen!
- so it was decided that on the 13th day of the month, all the Jews were to be killed, in every province and every nation of the land. There would be no place to run, and no place to hide.
- Mordecai, having found out about Haman's evil intentions, sentEsther a message. He told her what Haman was plotting and asked her to go to the King on the Jews behalf.Esther was afraid. She hadn't been allowed to see the King for a month. In fact, no one could see him without being invited. But she fasted and prayed for three days, mustered up her courage and after many attempts, she finally went to see the king.All she asked was that the King and Haman join her for dinner that night.
- Finally Esther shared the secret of her faith and proclaimed herself a Jew. She begged the king to spare her people. One of the king's attendants told the king of the gallows that Haman had built to have Mordecai hanged. The king was furious with Haman and ordered that he be hanged on those gallows. Haman's pride and cruelty had led to his own destruction and the brave, young Esther had saved her people.
