Mordecai’s Greatness
10 Then King Ahasuerus set forced labor upon the land and the (A)coastlands of the sea. 2 And the entire work of his authority and his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, (B)whom the king had made so great, are they not written in (C)the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was (D)second only to King Ahasuerus and was great among the Jews and pleasing to his many fellow brothers, (E)one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the peace of all his seed.

Title
10 King Ahasuerus imposed forced labor on the land and islands of the sea. 2 All the work of his authority and his powerful deeds,[a] and the full accounting of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written on the scroll of the chronicles[b] of the kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Ahasuerus. He was great for the Jews and popular with many of his brothers, for he sought good for his people, interceding for the welfare of all his descendants.[c]
