Esther 2:19-23 - A Plot Against The King
19 Now, when virgins were gathered together second time, then, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king. 20 Esther had not told of her kindred, nor her people, as, Mordecai, had laid charge upon her, - and, the command of Mordecai, Esther performed, like as when she was being brought up with him.
21 In those days, when, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king who guarded the threshold, were wroth, and sought to thrust a hand upon King Ahasuerus; 22 but the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen, - and Esther told it unto the king, in the name of Mordecai. 23 And, when the thing was searched into and found true , then were they two hanged upon the gallows, and it was written, in the book of the chronicles, before the king.
