Esther 2:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ When Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gatehouse, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who controlled access to the entrance to the palace, became very angry and plotted to kill King Xerxes. ²² When Mordecai learned about this, he told Queen Esther. She passed the report along to the king, crediting Mordecai by name. ²³ The matter was investigated, and the charges were found to be true, and both of them were hanged.^[a] This incident was recorded in the daily record book, in the presence of the king.
