hello children i am back to tell you a new story from the
Bible it is about the new queen that was chosen kingdom of Persia
wow that sounds awesome all right then
let's start with the story I'm sure you're going to love it the king of
Persia threw a big party which lasted for six months
he invited all the important people of his kingdom when his party ended he held
another special banquet for the officials and the servants of the palace
which too lasted for seven days the banquet was held in the courtyard which
was beautifully decorated but white and blue banners with purple ribbons there
were gold and silver couches on the marble floor and drinks were served in
gold cups the servants and the officials could have them as much as they wanted
at same time as the Kings banquet the queen of Persia threw a banquet for the
women off the palace on the seventh day of the Kings banquet the king commanded
that Queen Vashti be brought to his banquet he wanted her to wear her royal
crown and let the men see her great beauty but the queen Vasti refused to come
this angered the king his advisers advised him
that if the Queen was led away from her refusal that all the other women in the
kingdom would think they could disobey their husbands too
they suggested that queen Vashti before ever banished from the King's presence
the King liked the idea so he banished Vashti and let the whole kingdom know
about it soon after this the King realized what he had done that he needed
a new queen so he sent his men to find the most beautiful girl in their region
and bring them to the palace so that he could choose his new queen in the city
lived a jewish man called mordecai his young cousin Esther lived with him too
when her parents died he adopted her and raised her as his own daughter
Esther was extremely beautiful and so the king's men chose her as one of the
girls to eat the Queen the man in charge of all the women was very impressed with
Esther and so she was brought to the palace and given special treatment
she was also given servants for herself however Esther told no one in the palace
that she was a Jew as Mordecai advised her not
after a year when she was brought before the king he was left amazed by her
beauty he immediately put the crown on her head and declared her queen and
Mordecai became an official in the Kings Court
