Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 9:4

4 For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

i. e. The greatest in Place, and Power, and Favour with the King, both for his near relation to his beloved Queen, and for his good service done to him in preserving his Life, and managing his Affairs; and for those excellent Abilities and Virtues which he discovered in him; and especially by the disposition of the heartruling God.
