This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Est 10:1-3. Ahasuerus’ greatness, Mordecai’s advancement.
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.
