How preachers through history handled this text
2 public-domain excerpts on Esther 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“X The greatness of Ahasuerus, and of Mordecai, ver. 1-3. 2. Chronicles, &c. - These are lost long since, and buried in oblivion, while the sacred writings remain throughout the world. When the kingdoms of men, monarchs and their monarchies are destroyed, and their memorial is perished with them, the kingdom of God among men, and the records of that kingdom, shall remain as the days of heaven. ”
— John Wesley, Wesley's Notes on the Whole Bible, on Esther 10:2–30 (Public Domain)
