The King's Feast

Name Date

Read the Story

There was a king named Ahasuerus. He ruled many lands. He had a big feast. It went on for a long time.

The queen was named Vashti. She had a feast for the women. The king told her to come to him. But she said no.

The king was very mad. His men told him to pick a new queen. So he sent out letters. God was not named. But Christians believe God had a plan.

Memory Verse

“Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to King Ahasuerus.”

Esther 1:9 (WEB)
