Introduction
ESTHER CHAPTER 10
Ahasuerus’s greatness and Mordecai’s advancement.
Verse 1

Verse 3

To all his seed; or, for all his seed, to wit, the Jews, who were of the same seed and root from which he was descended. He spoke and acted with great kindness and friendliness to them, when they resorted to him upon any occasion.
