Esther chapter 7:
"3 Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my lifethis is my petition. And spare my peoplethis is my request. 4 For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king."
Yes by the babylonians and it was the Persians who freed them. What is your point?
