What Does Esther 10:2 Mean?
The narrator points to the official records, the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia, where the acts of the king’s power are preserved. Strikingly, the greatness of Mordecai is written there too, set down alongside the deeds of kings. The man once overlooked is now part of the empire’s permanent memory.
It is the same kind of chronicle that, opened on a sleepless night, first set Mordecai’s rescue in motion. Records have shaped this entire story, and here the story itself passes into the record. The narrator invites the reader to see Mordecai’s rise as established fact, his greatness no longer hidden but inscribed where the deeds of rulers are kept.
