Esther 10:1 And King Xerxes
imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
:2 Now all the acts of his
power and his might, and the account of the greatness 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?
:3 For Mordecai the Jew was
second to King Xerxes, and was great among the Jews and well received by the
multitudes of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace
to all his countrymen.
King Xerxes was killed during his twentieth year as king. He is mostly remembered today for his Queen, Esther, and the way God worked through him to save the Jews. Esther and Mordecai have lasting fame for the strength of their faith and conviction. From Esther’s courage we can draw strength, especially when we must take a stand for God and do more than we think possible.
Without directly mentioning
God’s name, the writer lets us know that God is at work through the incredible
string of events. The Jews know that God will take care of them even if His
name isn’t mentioned.
This finishes the book of
Esther.
