And the king Ahasuerus
laid
a tribute
upon the land
, and upon the isles
of the sea
.
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
?
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
.
