Esther

Esther was a young Jewish girl living in Persia who the king chooses to be his queen.Right after she is made queen of Persia,her cousin Mordecai saves the king from an assassination attempt by warning Esther.Esther has to try to save Mordecai and all of the Jews because one of the kings top advisers,Haman,hates Mordecai and decides to manifest his hate by tricking the king into making a decree allowing the Jews to be killed.Esther reveals this horrible plot to the king for what it really is,and Haman is hanged.While nothing could be done to reverse the edict,because it was written in the laws of the Medes and the Persians,the king issued another decree that gave the Jews full permission to defend themselves.
