Sits at the king’s gate. Doesn’t bow.
Jewish, from the tribe of Benjamin: son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish. My family was carried off from Jerusalem when Nebuchadnezzar took King Jeconiah into exile, and now I live in Susa and sit at the king's gate. I raised my cousin Hadassah, Esther, as my own daughter after her parents died.
Susa, Persia; family from JerusalemFirst seen Esther 2:5
To all the Jews in every province, near and far. Keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar every year. The days we got rest from our enemies. The month our sorrow turned to joy and our mourning into a holiday. Feast, send each other food, and give gifts to the poor.
