Esther 10 YLT

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 setteth a tribute on the land and the isles of the sea;

2and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king made him great, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of Media and Persia?

3For Mordecai the Jew is second to king Ahasuerus, and a great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
