This is what happened during the time of Xerxes, the Xerxes who ruled over 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush... Esther 1:1
"You are probably aware that some persons have denied the inspiration
of
the Book of Esther because the name of God does not occur in it. They
might with equal justice deny the inspiration of a great number of
chapters in the Bible, and of a far greater number of verses.
Although
the name of God does not occur in the Book of Esther, the Lord Himself
is there most conspicuously in every incident which it relates."
Charles Spurgeon
