1.    And king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land and 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, 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  great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his  brethren, seeking the welfare of his people, and speaking peace  to all his seed.
