Esther 10

1 King Ahasuerus laid
a tribute on the
land and on the islands of the sea.

2 Aren’t all the acts of his power and
of his might, and the full account of the
greatness of Mordecai, to which the king
advanced him, written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was next to King
Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and
accepted by the multitude of his brothers,
seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
