Esther 1

Introduction

A. Vashti Deposed ch. 1

This chapter records the providential circumstances whereby Esther was able to rise to her influential position with the Persian king. It was through the demise of the present queen.

"Though no mention is made of God’s providence, it nevertheless plays a prominent part, and may even give the book its raison d’etre." [Note: Ibid., p. 13. See Forrest S. Weiland, "Literary Clues to God’s Providence in the Book of Esther," Bibliotheca Sacra 160:637 (January-March 2003):34-47.]
