And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?, demonstrating that the official records document both the king's acts of power and the greatness to which Mordecai was advanced by the king. The reference to official chronicles shows that Mordecai's elevation was recorded in the official history of the Persian Empire, ensuring that his importance was documented for posterity. The verse shows how individual achievement is recorded within the institutional memory of kingdoms and empires.
