Notes

• A Brief Overview of the Book of Esther. Gives credible evidence for Darius I being the Ahasuerus of the Book of Esther and not Xerxes. The author makes 18 points to favor Darius. Here is an example of one:
• Under Darius the Mede (Daniel 9:1) there were 120 satrapies (Daniel 6:1), and under Darius there are 127 (Esther 1:1). Between the two kings the satrapies increased, but it was not until the twelfth year of Darius that all 127 were in place. Under Xerxes the number of provinces controlled by Persia began to decrease.
