 1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and *upon* the isles of the sea.

 2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto 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* next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
 
[Esther 9](/study/esther/9) [Job 1](/study/job/1)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
**1. Ahasuerus laid a tribute**—This
passage being an appendix to the history, and improperly separated
from the preceding chapter, it might be that the occasion of levying
this new impost arose out of the commotions raised by Haman's
conspiracy. Neither the nature nor the amount of the tax has been
recorded; only it was not a local tribute, but one exacted from all
parts of his vast empire.
