Esther 6:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² They found the written report of how Mordecai had informed on Bigthana and Teresh, two eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they planned to assassinate King Ahasuerus.^{(A) 3} The king inquired, “What honor and special recognition have been given to Mordecai for this act?”^(B)

The king’s personal attendants replied, “Nothing has been done for him.”

⁴ The king asked, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman was just entering the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.^(C)
