Esther 6:1-3

Good News Translation

The King Honors Mordecai

6 That same night the king could not get to sleep, so he had the official records of the empire brought and read to him. ^2 [a]The part they read included the account of how Mordecai had uncovered a plot to assassinate the king—the plot made by Bigthana and Teresh, the two palace eunuchs who had guarded the king's rooms. ³ The king asked, “How have we honored and rewarded Mordecai for this?”

His servants answered, “Nothing has been done for him.”
