The end of it
King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the empire, right out to its farthest shores. And all his acts of power and might, together with a full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king had promoted — aren't they written in the book of the annals of the kings of Media and Persia? Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, the greatest among the Jews, and held in high regard by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all of them.
