Esther 10

Mordecai’s Greatness

1Now King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on the land and the 1coastlands of the sea.

2And every accomplishment of his authority and power, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai 2with which the king honored him, are they not written in 3the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

3For Mordecai the Jew was 4second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many kinsmen, 5one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the welfare of his entire 6nation.
