AHASAI - A>@ - (whom Jehovah holds), a priest, ancestor of Maasiai, kjv@Nehemiah:11:13) called JAHZERAH in ( kjv@1Chronicles:9:12)

AHASBAI - A>@ - (blooming), father of Eli-phelet, one of David’s thirty-seven captains. (2 Samuel 23:34) In the corrupt list in ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:35) Eliphelet appears as "Eliphal the son of Ur." (B.C. about 1050.)

AHASHVEROSH - A>@ - Another (the Hebrew) form of AHASUERIUS. kjv@Ezra:4:6) in margin.

AHASUERUS - A>@ - (lion-king), the name of one Median and two Persian kings mentioned in the Old Testament. In kjv@Daniel:9:1) Ahasuerus is said to be the father of Darius the Mede. DARIUS This first Ahasuerus is Cyaxares, the conqueror of Nineveh. (Began to reign B.C. 634.) The Ahasuerus king of Persia, referred to in kjv@Ezra:4:6) must be Cambyses, thought to be Cyrus’ successor, and perhaps his son. (B.C. 529.) The third is the Ahasuerus of the book of Esther. This Ahasuerus is probably Xerxes of history, kjv@Esther:1:1) (B.C. 485), and this conclusion is fortified by the resemblance of character and by certain chronological indications, the account of his life and character agreeing with the book of Esther In the third year of Ahaseuerus was held a great feast and assembly in Shushan the palace, kjv@Esther:1:3) following a council held to consider the invasion of Greece. He divorced his queen Vashti for refusing to appear in public at this banquet, and married, four years afterwards, the Jewess Esther, cousin and ward of Mordecai. Five years after this, Haman, one of his counsellors, having been slighted by Mordecai, prevailed upon the king to order the destruction of all the Jews in the empire. But before the day appointed for the massacre, Esther and Mordecai influenced the king to put Haman to death and to give the Jews the right of self

Ahasuerus @ There are three kings designated by this name in Scripture.

(1.) The father of Darius the Mede, mentioned in kjv@Daniel:9:1. This was probably the Cyaxares I. known by this name in profane history, the king of Media and the conqueror of Nineveh.

(2.) The king mentioned in kjv@Ezra:4:6, probably the Cambyses of profane history, the son and successor of Cyrus (B.C. 529).

(3.) The son of Darius Hystaspes, the king named in the Book of Esther. He ruled over the kingdoms of Persia, Media, and Babylonia, "from India to Ethiopia." This was in all probability the Xerxes of profane history, who succeeded his father Darius (B.C. 485). In the LXX. version of the Book of Esther the name Artaxerxes occurs for Ahasuerus. He reigned for twenty-one years (B.C. 486-465). He invaded Greece with an army, it is said, of more than 2,000,000 soldiers, only 5,000 of whom returned with him. Leonidas, with his famous 300, arrested his progress at the Pass of Thermopylae, and then he was defeated disastrously by Themistocles at Salamis. It was after his return from this invasion that Esther was chosen as his queen.
