Mordecai Uncovers a Conspiracy

Mordecai Uncovers a Conspiracy


21In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan [fn] and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, grew angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.


22When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she informed the king on Mordecai’s behalf.


23After the report had been investigated and verified, both officials were hanged on the gallows. And all this was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles [fn] in the presence of the king.


2:21 Bigthan is a variant of Bigthana; see Esther 6:2.
