The book of Esther tells the story celebrated at Purim of how the young Jewish Queen Esther risked her life to save her people from destruction through a plot laid by wicked Haman, advisor to the Persian King Ahasuerus. God in His Divine Providence turned things around, and the day set for their destruction became a day of celebration. Even though His name is never mentioned, God is present and actively working behind the scenes, arranging every event to bring about His divine purpose for the salvation and preservation of His chosen people, the Jews.
There are ten chapters in the Book of Esther, and it is from these ten chapters the author has written Esther's story as a poem in rhyme. Scriptural poetry must represent the truth it attempts to portray, and it is reflected in a delightful educational poem that people of all ages can understand and remember.
