King Xerxes remembered Vashti after he had dismissed her and sought new candidates for a queen. This reflection occurred during a feast, when he was feeling the absence of his former queen and the consequences of his decision. The moment is significant in the Book of Esther, highlighting the contrast between Vashti's refusal to obey the king and Esther's eventual rise to favor.
Esther 2:12 tells us that it was twelve months (12 months of 'proper diet', 6 months of being massaged with myrrh, and 6 months of being massaged with balsam oil) before a young woman would be ready to go in to the king. Esther had a fine reputation and 'found favor' with everyone around her, so when it was her turn to spend time with King Ahasuerus, he crowned her Queen (Esther 2:15-17)
After Vashti was reinstated, Esther remained in the royal palace, but her future took a significant turn when King Xerxes chose her as his new queen, replacing Vashti. This decision came after a search for a new queen, during which Esther, who had been raised by her cousin Mordecai, won the king's favor. As queen, Esther later played a crucial role in saving her people, the Jews, from a plot against them orchestrated by Haman.
