21 At that time when Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs among those who guarded the threshold,[a] became angry and conspired to assassinate[b] King Ahasuerus. 22 When Mordecai learned about the plot, he told Queen Esther, and she told the king in Mordecai’s name. 23 After the matter had been fully investigated, Bigthan and Teresh[c] were hanged[d] on a pole, and this was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king.
