The king's trust in Esther

We now come to the final three chapters from the book of Esther: 8 through 10.

After Haman was impaled, the king gave all of Haman's property to his queen Esther.  Then Mordecai was brought before the king, for she informed him that Mordecai was related to her.  Mordecai was then appointed to be in charge of Esther's property.

Then, Esther came before the king, begging him to stop the evil plot Haman had devised against the Jews.  Without question, the king gave her his signet ring and told her to send a message to the Jews in the king's name.  He trusted her to send whatever message that she pleased, but warned her that his previous decree still stood and could not be reversed.  So, the message had to be one that overrode his previous decree.

She instructed the new decree to be sent to all of the Jews that anyone who would do them harm, they were given the right to defend their life and property by any means necessary.

Victory was had by the Jews throughout the king's entire kingdom and there was a great festival to honor the memory of that victory.  In the end, Mordecai was given the name of prime minister of all the king's lands, a title second only to the king himself, and he continued to work for the good and welfare of all their descendants.
