#ScriptureReflection - Esther 10:1-3 (6.3.24)

 The Rise of Mordecai Completed. 
  King Ahasuerus levied a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.  
All the acts of his power and valor, as well as a detailed account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king promoted, are recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.  The Jew Mordecai was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, in high standing among the Jews, popular with many of his kindred, seeking the good of his people and speaking out on behalf of the welfare of all its descendants.
