Esther 10
1. And the king Ahasuerus laid * a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
2. And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced * him, are they not written * in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
3. 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.
