Greek Esther 2:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Plot Discovered

¹⁹ Meanwhile Mordecai was serving in the court.^{(A) 20} Esther had not disclosed her country, for thus Mordecai had instructed her to fear God and keep his laws, just as she had done when she was with him. So Esther did not change her way of life.^(B)

²¹ Now two of the king’s eunuchs, who were chief bodyguards, were upset because of Mordecai’s advancement, and they plotted to kill King Artaxerxes.
