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.
