Chapter 10 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land and upon the isles
of the sea.
And all the acts of his power and of his might and the declaration of the greatness
of Mordecai were unto the king advanced him.
Are they not written in the book of the Chronicles, of the kings of Media and
Persia?
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews,
and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his
people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
