laid a tribute: Esther 1:1, Esther 8:9, Luke 2:1

the isles: Genesis 10:5, Psalms 72:10, Isaiah 24:15, Daniel 11:18

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and upon the isles of the sea. Which include all his dominions, both on the continent, and on the sea, the Aegean sea; though Aben Ezra thinks it regards such as were not under his government, but stood in fear of him, of whom he demanded tribute. If Ahasuerus was Xerxes, perhaps his exchequer might be drained by his wars with the Grecians, which put him upon this; though some understand this of his renewing the taxes and tribute, which he remitted upon his marriage with Esther, Esther 2:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A tribute - Perhaps an allusion to some fresh arrangement of the tribute likely to have followed on the return of Xerxes from Greece.

Upon the isles of the sea - Cyprus, Aradus, the island of Tyre, Platea, etc., remained in the hands of the Persians after the victories of the Greeks, and may be the “isles” here intended.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER X

Ahasuerus lays a tribute on his dominions, 1.

NOTES ON CHAP. X

Verse Esther 10:1. Laid a tribute upon the land — On the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of which we have already heard.

The isles of the sea. — Probably the isles of the AEgean sea, which were conquered by Darius Hystaspes. Calmet supposes that this Hystaspes is the Ahasuerus of Esther.
