Esther 10

Mordecai’s Advancement

And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

The Greatness of Xerxes and Mordecai

King Xerxes imposed a tribute throughout his empire, even to the distant coastlands.

Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king [a]advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

His great achievements and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king had promoted, are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Media and Persia.

For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his [b]countrymen.

Mordecai the Jew became the prime minister, with authority next to that of King Xerxes himself. He was very great among the Jews, who held him in high esteem, because he continued to work for the good of his people and to speak up for the welfare of all their descendants.
