Esther 10

1 Ahasuerus's greatness. 3 Mordecai's advancement.

 10:1 ¶ And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.

 10:2 And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:

 10:3 And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
