1.And the King Ahashuerósh layed 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 dignity of Mordecái, wherewith the King magnified him, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
3.For Mordecái the Jew was the second unto King Ahashuerósh, and great among the Jews, and aaccepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seed.
