Esther 1-3

Mordecai was a devout Jew who had been taken captive by the Babylonians.  His heritage was the same as that of the first king of Israel; a Benjamite from the family of Kish, king Sauls father.  The honorable character of Mordecai is a clear reminder that we must be careful attributing the characteristics of a famous ancestor to the generations that follow them.
