1-3

Listen up soldiers! This is Esther Chapter 10, Verse 1: King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on the land and on the coastal regions. Verse 2: All the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? Verse 3: 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 good of his people and interceded for the welfare of all his descendants. That's it, soldiers! Now move out!
