Other Things King Ahasuerus Did
10 King Ahasuerus imposed tribute[a] on the land and on the islands of the sea. 2 Now as to all the powerful and great deeds of Ahasuerus, along with an exact statement about the high position[b] of Mordecai to which the king promoted him, these things are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia, are they not? 3 Indeed, Mordecai the Jew was second in authority only[c] to King Ahasuerus and was a powerful official[d] among the Jewish people. Mordecai[e] was accepted favorably by his many kinsmen, and he sought the good of his countrymen and spoke out for the welfare of all his people.[f]
