Chapter 10

And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

Daarna legde de koning Ahasveros schatting op het land, en de eilanden der zee.

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?

Al de werken nu zijner macht en zijns gewelds, en de verklaring der grootheid van Mordechai, denwelken de koning groot gemaakt heeft, zijn die niet geschreven inhet boek der kronieken der koningen van Medie en Perzie?

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.
