ARKCODEX
The Greatness of Xerxes and Mordecai
1King Xerxes imposed forced labor on the people of the coastal regions of his empire as well as on those of the interior.
2All the great and wonderful things he did, as well as the whole story of how he promoted Mordecai to high office, are recorded in the official records of the kings of Persia and Media.
3Mordecai the Jew was second in rank only to King Xerxes himself. He was honored and well-liked by his fellow Jews. He worked for the good of his people and for the security of all their descendants.
