Mordecai’s Greatness

10 Then King Ahasuerus set forced labor upon the land and the ^(A)coastlands of the sea. ² And the entire work of his authority and his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, ^(B)whom the king had made so great, are they not written in ^(C)the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? ³ For Mordecai the Jew was ^(D)second only to King Ahasuerus and was great among the Jews and pleasing to his many fellow brothers, ^(E)one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the peace of all his seed.
