So, he began to search for another queen.  \nThe King’s servants chose beautiful young women from all around the Persian Empire and brought them to the king’s palace in Susa.  \nA Jewish girl named Esther lived in Susa with a relative named Mordecai. They chose Esther to come before the king, but she did not tell anyone she was a Jew.  \nAfter a year of special beauty treatments, the women presented themselves to the king. King Xerxes loved Esther more than any of the others and made her his new queen.  \nDuring those days while he was working at the king's gate, Mordecai happened to hear two palace guards planning to kill the king. He told Esther about it, and she told the king.  \nThe king investigated the charge and confirmed it to be true. His servants arrested the two guards and put them to death. An official made note of this in the king’s official history record.","cbCailX5lmxbsGCO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailX5lmxbsGCO","pdf",10371591,52,"English","en",105,"# Esther 1–9\n## Vashti is replaced and Esther is chosen\n## A plot is uncovered and stopped","[{\"question\":\"Why did King Xerxes search for a new queen?\",\"answer\":\"Xerxes became angry with Queen Vashti because she refused to attend a banquet he had made.
