Ester 10:1

1 El rey Asuero impuso tributo sobre la tierra y sobre las costas del mar.

Ester 10:1 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 10:1

And the King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and upon
the isles of the sea.
] Which include all his dominions, both on the continent, and on the sea, the Aegean sea; though Aben Ezra thinks it regards such as were not under his government, but stood in fear of him, of whom he demanded tribute. If Ahasuerus was Xerxes, perhaps his exchequer might be drained by his wars with the Grecians, which put him upon this; though some understand this of his renewing the taxes and tribute, which he remitted upon his marriage with Esther, ( Esther 2:18 ) .

Ester 10:1 In-Context

1 El rey Asuero impuso tributo sobre la tierra y sobre las costas del mar.
2 Y todos los actos de su autoridad y poder, y todo el relato de la grandeza de Mardoqueo, con que el rey le engrandeció, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Media y Persia?
3 Porque el judío Mardoqueo era el segundo después del rey Asuero, grande entre los judíos y estimado por la multitud de sus hermanos, el cual buscó el bien de su pueblo y procuró el bienestar de toda su gente .
