I. \\#Esther 10:1-3\\ The Conclusion
    A. These verses provide a closing to the thought, "And what happened to the
        Jews that stayed in Persia?  The answer is that God provided them with
        a earthly benefactor, at least for a few years.  This was God’s way of
        giving His people a few more years to return to the Promised Land.
    B. \\#1\\ What happened to King Ahasuerus?
        1. "king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land and upon the isles of the
            sea."
        2. It sounds like he just kept getting richer and richer.
    C. \\#2-3\\ What happened to Mordecai?
        1. "the greatness of Mordecai… next unto king Ahasuerus" - He continued
            to become a great man in Persia, second only to the king.  Mordecai
            makes the third Jew who God exalted to be a foreign king’s second.
            Joseph and Daniel being the first two.
        2. "seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace" - Mordecai
            used his position to advance his people.
