Who was Esther? Esther is the eponymous heroine of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible.
According to the biblical narrative, which is set in the Achaemenid Empire, the Persian king Ahasuerus falls in love with Esther and marries her. His grand vizier Haman is offended by Esther's cousin and guardian Mordecai
because of his refusal to bow before him. When confronted, Mordecai's excuse was simply that he was a Jew. Various interpretations have been offered as to what Mordecai's concern was. Consequently, Haman plots to have all of Persia's Jews killed, and eventually convinces Ahasuerus to permit him to do so. However, Esther foils the plan by revealing and decrying Haman's plans to Ahasuerus, who then has Haman executed and grants permission to the Jews to take up arms against their enemies.

Esther is hailed for her courage and for working to save the Jews of Persia from eradication.

The Book of Esther's story provides the traditional explanation for Purim, a celebratory Jewish holiday that is observed on the Hebrew date on which Haman's order was to go into effect, which is the day that the Jews killed their enemies after Esther exposed Haman's intentions to her husband.
