| Chapter 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. |
