King James VersionEsther10

Esther

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.
