Finns det något släktsamband mellan konung Kores och drottning Ester, hennes man konung Ahasveros och Darejaves (Darius) i Dan 6.

SVAR, tisdagen den 15 april 2003, kl. 18:55:

Kung Kores härskade från år 559 fKr. Den Darejaves som omnämns i Dan. 6 härskade 538-536 fKr, och Ahasveros började sin kungamakt år 486 fKr. Det kan alltså inte finnas någon släktskap mellan Ahasveros hustru, judinnan Ester, och de tidigare Darajaves och Kores.
Om Ahasveros själv var ättling till någon av dem tror jag inte framgår av Bibeln, men du kan ju försöka reda ut de här personernas släktförhållanden med hjälp av följande utdrag ur Eastons Bible Dictionary. Eftersom det, precis som hos oss, fanns många kungar med samma namn, är det väldigt svårt att utan en uppritad stamtavla framför sig, få en klar bild av vem som är vem i de här persongallerierna.

Cyrus. (Heb. Ko'resh), the celebrated "King of Persia" (Elam) who was conqueror of Babylon, and issued the decree of liberation to the Jews (Ezra 1:1, 2). He was the son of Cambyses, the prince of Persia, and was born about B.C. 599. In the year B.C. 559 he became king of Persia, the kingdom of Media being added to it partly by conquest. Cyrus was a great military leader, bent on universal conquest. Babylon fell before his army (B.C. 538) on the night of Belshazzar's feast (Dan. 5:30), and then the ancient dominion of Assyria was also added to his empire (cf., "Go up, O Elam", Isa.21:2).

Darius, the holder or supporter, the name of several Persian kings. (1.) Darius the Mede (Dan. 11:1), "the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes" (9:1). On the death of Belshazzar the Chaldean he "received the kingdom" of Babylon as viceroy from Cyrus. During his brief reign (B.C. 538-536) Daniel was promoted to the highest dignity (Dan. 6:1, 2); but on account of the malice of his enemies he was cast into the den of lions. After his miraculous escape, a decree was issued by Darius enjoining "reverence for the God of Daniel" (6:26). This king was probably the "Astyages" of the Greek historians.

Ahasuerus. 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. (Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. )
