ES-10:1  And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land,

and [upon] the isles

of the sea.

ES-10:2  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?

ES-10:3  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.
