KJV Esther Chapter 10
1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and |upon| the isles of the sea. 2 And 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? 3 For 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.
