2 And all the actes of his power, and of his might, & the declaration of the dignitie of Mordecai, wherwith the King magnified him, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia? And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? And all his acts of power and might, together with a full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king had promoted, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Media and Persia?
3 For Mordecai the Iewe was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh, & great among the Iewes, and accepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seede. (10:4) Then Mardocheus saide, God hath done these things. (10:5) For I remember a dreame, which I saw concerning these matters, and there was nothing thereof omitted.

(10:10) Therefore hath hee made two lottes, one for the people of God, and another for all ye Gentiles. (10:11) And these two lottes came before God for all nations, at the houre and time appointed, and in the day of iudgement. (10:12) So God remembred his owne people, and iustified his inheritance. (10:13) Therefore those dayes shalbe vnto them in the moneth Adar the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same moneth, with an assemblie and ioy, and with gladnesse before God, according to the generations for euer among his people. (11:1) In the fourth yere of the reigne of Ptolomeus & Cleopatra Dositheus, who said he was a Priest & Leuite, and Ptolomeus his sonne, and brought the former letters of Phrurai, which they saide Lysimachus the sonne of Ptolomeus, which was at Ierusalem, interpreted, For Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Ahasuerus, and he was great among the Jews and popular with the multitude of his brothers, for he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace to all his people. Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews.
