Mordecai's greatness

And King Ahasuerus laid a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea. And all his acts of power and might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king promoted — aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

And King Ahasuerus laid a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea. And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai that the king lifted him up to, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? Because Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the crowd of his brothers — looking for the good of his people and speaking peace to all his offspring.

And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
