Esther 10:1

xjLND the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. ’ Having great occasion for money, he laid a new tax upon all his provinces, b6th in the continent (as we speak) and in tho, isles of the sea, belonging to his dominions. Some.think, that the imposts which he released to his people at the marriage of Esther, (ii. 18.) which continued for some years, were now revived; and that this is all which is meant by these words. But this doth not well agree with this phrase, cf laying a tribute on them. Our primate Usher understands by the isles here mentioned, those in the iEgean Sea, which were conquered by Darius Hystaspes, who was the first that laid a tribute on his subjects; for Cyrus, and Cambyses before him, laid none; but, being begun, they continued it to the reign of this king, ad Annum Per. Julian. 4219. Strabo saith, (lib. xv. p. 735.) that the tribute exacted on the sea-coast was paid in silver; but that from the land, in such commodities as every country afforded, in wool, drugs, cattle, &c.

Esther 10:2

And all the acts of his power, and of his might. Which was so great, that the Egyptians in their hieroglyphics represented Ochus by a sword. And Plutarch (as Jacobus Capellus observes) calls him the most terrible of all the Persian kings.’. And the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, where* unto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book oftlie Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?] These words signify, that as this king did great things, so they weyo to be ascribed very much to the management ofMordecai, after he was advanced to the highest authority in the kingdom, Jiutit was not the design of the author of this history

Esther 10:3

For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus. I cannot but observe here, in the conclusion of this book, that Mordecai is so often called the Jew by this author, (sec ix. 29. 31.) that it hath inclined me to think it was not written by one of that nation, but by some proselyte of Persia who was converted, as many were at this time, (viii. 17.) to the Jewish religion. Some of which might be in these times divinely inspired, as Nicholas, a proselyte of Antioch, was in the apostles’ days, (Acts vi. 5.) But I have no authority for this, which I mention as a mere conjecture. And great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren.] His greatness did not make him forget his brethren; by whom he was highly esteemed, and much honoured by every one of them. Seeking the wealth of his people.’] And no wonder he was so acceptable, for his study was how to do them good. And speaking peace to all his seed.) Advising and promoting whatsoever was for their advantage; and speaking still to the king for that which might tend to the happiness, and prosperity of his nation, which he advanced to the utmost of his power. Unto which a most earnest desire of the coming of the’ Messiah contributed exceedingly; and the serious study of the law, which he recommended to them, as the only means of living happily. Thus Conradus Pcllicanus concludes his commentary on this book; but where he found this I cannot tell. It is only highly probable, that so good a man as Mordecai was very solicitous they should be obedient to the law of Moses (as Malachi was), and live in expectation of the Messiah, concerning whom Moses prophesied. For, as Epiphanius, and Seder Olam, and others, observe, this book of Esther is the last canonical book of the Old Testament; and the nearer they approached to the coming of Christ, the more desirous holy men were to see him. Others, indeed, think Malachi is the last Divine writer; but, on the other side, it seems probable, that he, having taken no notice of the deliverance under Esther, prophesied some time before it.
