Following the conquest of Babylon, the King of Persia gives a banquet for his people at which he requests the presence of his wife, Vashti. As she refuses the King's demand, Ahasuerus disowns Vashti and goes in search of her replacement. In his harem, he meets the young girl Esther who immediately captivates him with her charm and beauty. Unaware of her Jewish heritage, King Ahasuerus falls in love with Esther. Esther then reveals to Ahasuerus that she is Jewish and asks him to show her people mercy, because of a planned genocide of the Jews by the King's right-hand man, Haman. In doing so, she saves the lives of many innocent people and paves the way for their return to Jerusalem.System Requirements: Running Time 91 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE
 


Editor's Note

Part of a four volume video Bible series, ESTHER is the story of Ahasuerus, a King of Persia whom disowns his wife after she ignores his orders, and begins a quest to replace her. He meets a beautiful young Jewish girl named Esther whom he instantly falls in love with, without knowing of her Jewish heritage. She asks the King to halt a planned genocide of the Jews by his right hand man Haman. He does so, and in turn paves the way for her their return to Jerusalem.
