# Esther 10 (New King James Version)
Mordecai's Advancement

##### Chapter 10
###### 1 And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and _on_ the islands of the sea.  
###### 2 Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the 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 to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
