Esther 10 summary

This is but a part of a chapter; the rest of it, beginning at v. 4, with six chapters more, being found only in the Greek, is rejected as apocryphal. In these three verses we have only some short hints, I. Concerning Ahasuerus in the throne, what a mighty prince he was (Est 10:1, Est 10:2). II. Concerning Mordecai his favourite, what a distinguished blessing he was to his people (Est 10:2, Est 10:3).

1. 1 King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
2. 2 Aren’t all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
3. 3 For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
