Esther:2:19-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When the virgins were gathered together the second time ,
Mor '
decai was sitting at the king '
s gate .
*
Now Esther had not made known her kindred or her people ,
as Mor '
decai had charged her ;
for Esther obeyed Mor '
decai just as when she was brought up by him .
*
And in those days ,
as Mor '
decai was sitting at the king '
s gate ,
Bigthan and Teresh ,
two of the king '
s eunuchs ,
who guarded the threshold ,
became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasu-e '
rus .
*
And this came to the knowledge of Mor '
decai ,
and he told it to Queen Esther ,
and Esther told the king in the name of Mor '
decai .
*
When the affair was investigated and found to be so ,
the men were both hanged on the gallows .
And it was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king .
