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 Ahashuerosh layd a tribute vpon the land, and vpon the yles of the sea.
2And all the actes of his power, and of his might, and the declaration of the dignitie of Mordecai, wherwith the King magnified him, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
3For Mordecai the Iewe was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh, and great among the Iewes, and accepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seede.
