Mordecai

A man, in the time of Exile and Return · named in 2 verses

Mordecai was one of the leaders who returned with Zerubbabel from Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem.

From Easton's Bible Dictionary

The son of Jair, of the tribe of Benjamin. It has been alleged that he was carried into captivity with Jeconiah, and hence that he must have been at least one hundred and twenty-nine years old in the twelfth year of Ahasuerus (Xerxes). But the words of Esther do not necessarily lead to this conclusion. It was probably Kish of whom it is said (ver. 6) that he "had been carried away with the captivity."
