Nehemiah - Esther

Feast

17 Nehemiah 13:30-31
³⁰Thus I cleansed them from all the Gentiles, and appointed them over their duties, both the priests and the Levites, each in his work;
³¹and for the gift offerings and the holy things in their appointed times, and for their feasts and for the firstfruits.

Remember me, my god, for good.

18 Esther 1:3
³in the 3rd year of his reign, he made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, the mighty men of Persia and Media, and the king's nobles, and the governors of the provinces being before him.

Foreign Alliances

17 Nehemiah 13:26
²⁶Solomon, king of Israel, sinned by these things. Yet among many nations, there was no king like him, who was beloved by his god, and god made him king over all Israel; nevertheless, even him, foreign women caused to sin.

18 Esther 2:17
¹⁷And the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the other virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
