Ester 10

Grandeza de Mardoqueo

1 El rey Asuero impuso tributo por todo el imperio, incluyendo las islas del mar. 2 Todos los hechos de poder y autoridad de Mardoqueo, junto con un relato completo de la grandeza a la cual lo elevó el rey, se hallan registrados en las crónicas de los reyes de Media y Persia. 3 El judío Mardoqueo fue preeminente entre su pueblo y segundo en jerarquía después del rey Asuero. Alcanzó gran estima entre sus muchos compatriotas, porque procuraba el bien de su pueblo y promovía su *bienestar.
