Ahasuerus is the name of a Persian king. He expelled his wife, Vashti because she would not attend a feast he prepared for his distinguished guests. He deposed Vashti and chose (Hadassah) Esther, a Jewish woman, to be his new wife. One of the kingdom's officials, Haman, hated the Jews, and he concocted a plot to exterminate them. He planned to start by executing Mordecai because he was a Jew who did not reverence Haman. Mordecai was also the man who reared Hadassah, his cousin, as his daughter. When Ahasuerus became aware of the plot, he ordered his men to hang Haman and his ten sons on the same gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai.
