| Esther 11:2
| In the second year *of the reign of Artaxerxes the great, in the first day of the month Nisan, Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the tribe of Benjamin:
| Year of the World 3484, Year before Christ 520. Second year, the same when Darius gave an edict for building the temple, (1 Esdras iv.; Tirinus) and the year before the great feast, (chap. 1:3.) when the Jews little thought of such danger hanging over them. (Calmet) (Worthington) --- Benjamin. Esther 2:5., we read Jemini, which shews that they have the same import. (Tirinus)
