Esther ( /ˈɛstər/; Hebrew: אֶסְתֵּר, Modern Ester Tiberian ʼEstēr), born Hadassah, is the eponymous heroine of the Biblical Book of Esther. According to the Bible, she was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus is traditionally identified with Xerxes I during the time of the Achaemenid empire. Her story is the basis for the celebration of Purim in Jewish tradition.
King Xerxes held a 180-day feast in Susa (Shoushan). While in "high spirits" from the wine, he ordered his queen, Vashti, to appear before him and his guests to display her beauty. But when the attendants delivered the king's command to Queen Vashti, she refused to come. Furious at her refusal to obey, the king asked his wise men what should be done. One of them said that all the women in the empire would hear that "The King Xerxes commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not." Then the women of the empire would despise their husbands. And this would cause many problems in the kingdom. Therefore it would be good to depose her.

Esther's been reading books
She's changed the way that she talks and the way that she looks
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
She's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose
Esther's been watching movies
And she must have seen someone that she would like to be
With looks like hers she could be on the screen
But she's the worst actor that I've ever seen
Esther I've known you for ages
And I've watched you through all the changes
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we're becoming strangers
Esther's been burning bridges
I remember the time when she turned religious
But soon she turned her back on the church
And brushed it aside to continue the search
Because Esther's been searching for something
She doesn't quite know what it is
Yes Esther's been looking for something
Maybe something that doesn't exist
Esther, isn't it funny how we don't do the things we used to do?
You don't think about that anymore Esther,
but Esther, I still think about you.
Esther's been getting lonely
After she cut herself off from the only
People on whom she could depend
People who were happy to call her their friend
Esther I've known you for ages
And I've watched you through all the stages
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we're becoming strangers
Oh Esther
