Esther 10:2

Mordecai’s Advancement

1 And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on ^athe islands of the sea.

2 Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, ^ato which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the ^bchronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was ^asecond to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, ^bseeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his¹ countrymen.

the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai—The experience of this pious and excellent Jew verified the statement, "he that humbleth himself shall be exalted" [Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; Luke 18:14]. From sitting contentedly at the king's gate, he was raised to the dignity of highest subject, the powerful ruler of the kingdom. Acting uniformly on the great principles of truth and righteousness, his greatness rested on a firm foundation. His faith was openly avowed, and his influence as a professor of the true religion was of the greatest usefulness for promoting the welfare of the Jewish people, as well as for advancing the glory of God.
