Esther 12

Return

Mordecai Discovers a Plot against the King

1

Now Mordecai took his rest in the courtyard with Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king who kept watch in the courtyard.

2

He overheard their conversation and inquired into their purposes, and learned that they were preparing to lay hands upon Artaxerxes the king; and he informed the king concerning them.

3

Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and when they confessed they were led to execution.

4

The king made a permanent record of these things, and Mordecai wrote an account of them.

5

And the king ordered Mordecai to serve in the court and rewarded him for these things.

6

But Haman, the son of Hammedatha, a Bougaean, was in great honor with the king, and he sought to injure Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.
