Best Answer

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah were written during the period that the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem from captivity. The book of Ester was probably written during the period of captivity or shortly after.

Answer:

According to the Jewish count, Ezra and Nehemiah are one book. In addition to it, Chronicles was written during or immediately after the Babylonian captivity; and Esther was redacted at that time too (by the Men of the Great Assembly, after Mordecai and Esther had penned the original text; see Esther ch.9).
