* And when the virgins were gathered together the second time , then Mordecai sat in the king 's gate . * Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people ; as Mordecai had charged her : for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai , like as when she was brought up with him . * In those days , while Mordecai sat in the king 's gate , two of the king 's chamberlains , Bigthan and Teresh , of those which kept the door , were wroth , and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus . * And the thing was known to Mordecai , who told it unto Esther the queen ; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai 's name . * And when inquisition was made of the matter , it was found out ; therefore they were both hanged on a tree : and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king .
