Esther 10 ASV
Summary: The book closes with a brief epilogue describing King Ahasuerus's continued power and the tribute he imposed throughout his empire, noting that a full account of his greatness is recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia. It concludes by summarizing Mordecai's rise to become second in rank to the king, great among the Jews and popular with his many kinsmen, remembered as one who sought the good of his people and spoke peace to all their descendants.
1And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
2And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account 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?
3For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
