ter, and loved her dearly.
Esther was very beautiful, and
when one day King Ahasuerus of
Susa saw her while driving along
a country road. he fell madly in
love with her. Esther loved the
king in return, and they were mar
red in 500 B. c.
Mordecai had urged the marriage
but he had coUnseled Esther not
10 let King Ahasuerus know that
she was a Jewess. But he left
Babylon 10 live IN Susa that he

Queen Esther and the King were
living together happily when an
incident occurred which keeps her
memory fresh today in the minds of
millions who are scattered all over
the world
Hannah. an Amalekite, was the
favorite OF King Ahasuerus. One
day when Mordecai was waiting at

Jews that King Ahasuerus gave a
command that not only Mordecai
be pu. 10 death. but that all the
Jews throughout the wide domains
should die.
When Queen Esther heard OF the
injustice she was heart-sick She
knew thst she must confess 10 her
husband that she was Jewess and
risk not only losing the love OF her
husband. but her life II she would
save her people. However. she did
