Oops - Forgot all about Vashti. Good question. Is there any mention of Esther outside of this story in other Persian literature?
That's what I am curious to discover. Notes in my Bible says that a son had been born about the time/just before Vashti was banished & Vashti is mentioned later on. Notes are not necessarily correct, though. I was wondering what Jewish/Persian tradition stated about Esther's life.
