Chapter Summary

A brief closing notes that Ahasuerus levied tribute throughout his empire and that his power is recorded in the chronicles of Persia and Media. Mordecai the Jew remains second in rank only to the king, great among the Jews and highly respected by his many kinsmen, because he 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 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?

3For 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.
