Esther 2:19-21

Amplified Bible

¹⁹ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai ^[a]was sitting at the king’s gate. ²⁰ Esther had not revealed her family or her people [that is, her Jewish background], just as Mordecai had instructed her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her just as when she was under his care.

Mordecai Saves the King

²¹ In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the door, became ^[b]angry and ^[c]conspired to attack King Ahasuerus.
