Esther 2:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ One day as Mordecai was on duty at the palace, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh—who were guards at the palace gate—became angry at the king and plotted to assassinate him. ²² Mordecai heard about it and passed on the information to Queen Esther, who told the king, crediting Mordecai with the information. ²³ An investigation was made, the two men found guilty, and impaled alive.^[a] This was all duly recorded in the book of the history of King Ahasuerus’ reign.
