Azor masters biography

This work is linked to Esther 7:9

Esther begs Ahasuerus to revoke the decree against the Jews. It works; Esther gets the king to grant the Jews permission to kill all their enemies, completely turning the tables on them.

In the background Haman, the source of all evil, hanged, on the pole intended for Mordecai.

Mediaeval illuminations on the story of Esther and Mordecai:
Queen Vashti Refuses to Appear before Ahasuerus | Haman Convinces Ahasuerus |
Esther before Ahasuerus | Haman and Ahasuerus visit Esther | Mordecai is led through the city by Haman | Death of Haman | Death of the Eunuchs
