A comparison of 1:3 and 2:16 will show that four years passed before the final choice of a new queen was made. She was the Jewish woman, Esther (Hadassah) who had been under the guidance of her honorable relative, Mordecai. She won the approval of the king and was made queen. The last event in the chapter that prepares us for the rest of this reading is about an incident that led to the king’s life being saved when Mordecai learned of a plot against his life.
