10: Royal Elevation of Mordecai}
{Postscript
of the Book}
1~~~Now
King {Xerxes}'/'Achashverowsh
laid
a tribute {new taxes} on the land
and
on the coastlands of the sea.
{Note:
This was a powerful king. He laid heavy taxes on his people - and
Mordecai was a big part of this revenue raising business.}
2~~~And
all the accomplishments
of
his authority and strength,
and
the full account of the greatness of Mordecai
to
which 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 second {only}
to
King {Xerxes}'/'Achashverowsh,
and
great among the Jews
and
in favor with the multitude of his kinsmen,
one
who sought the good of his people.
