📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set in the ancient Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, the story unfolds during a time when the Jewish people were in exile and facing threats from enemies like Haman. That night, the king is unable to sleep and has the royal records read to him, which reminds him of Mordecai's earlier act of loyalty in exposing an assassination plot. As Haman arrives at the court with his own sinister plans, the king's servants announce his presence, leading the king to summon him inside, unaware of the irony about to unfold.
