21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, (A)Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to [a]lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 22 But the [b]plot became known to Mordecai and (B)he told Queen Esther, and Esther [c]informed the king in Mordecai’s name. 23 Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a [d]gallows; and it was written in (C)the Book of the Chronicles in the king’s presence.
