1 *Et le roi Assuérus imposa un tribut sur le pays et sur les îles de la mer.

2 Et tous les actes de sa puissance et de sa force, et la déclaration de la grandeur de Mardochée, comment le roi l’éleva, ne sont-ils pas écrits dans le livre des chroniques des rois de Médie et de Perse?

3 Car Mardochée, le Juif, fut le second après le roi Assuérus, et il fut grand parmi les Juifs et agréable à la multitude de ses frères, cherchant le bien de son peuple et parlant pour la paix de toute sa race.

Questions Fréquentes

How does the book of Esther conclude?
With a brief note that King Ahasuerus imposed tribute across his empire, and that his and Mordecai's deeds were recorded 'in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia' (v1-2).
What final description is given of Mordecai?
He is described as a leader 'next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews,' one who sought 'the wealth of his people' and spoke 'peace to all his seed' (v3).
What tone does this closing chapter strike compared to the celebration in Esther 9?
Unlike the feasting and celebration that closes Esther 9, this final chapter shifts to plain record-keeping about the king's reign rather than further narrative.

The final word belongs to Mordecai, described as next in rank to the king himself, respected by his people, and devoted to seeking their welfare and speaking peace to his descendants, a legacy rooted in the deliverance won in Esther 9.
