Esther 10

1 Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.

2 And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

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.

1 And king Ahasuerus laid interest upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

2 But all the works of his power and might, and the great glory of Mordecai, which the king gave him, behold, it is written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

3 For Mordecai the Jew was the other after king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and pleasant among the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking the best for all his seed.
