Explanation: Esther 10 describes the riches, glory, and honor of Ahasuerus and Mordecai. The painting above shows regal garments which have the same colors as the regal Persian garments -- purple and white. [Traditional Patriarchal Timeline. Judges Period Chronology. Kings of Judah and Israel #1. Kings of Judah and Israel #2]. [Chronologically and Thematically Related Scriptures: Esther 8, Esther 9].
     King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on his whole realm. And all of the rest of his acts were recorded in his court records, including the account of how he advanced Mordecai to a position of power and wealth second only to Ahasuerus himself. And Mordecai was also great among the Jews; and he advanced their wealth and their peace (1-3).

     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.
