  1. The Book of #Esther is reckoned as the final historical book in English Old Testaments and part of the #Megillot, or five scrolls of the Writings, in the Hebrew Bible.

    The Book of Esther set forth the story of how #Hadassah, or Esther, was elevated to become the queen of #Ahasuerus, who we know as #Xerxes I of #Persia. She became queen after #Vashti had displeased Xerxes and had been dismissed.
