Esther 6:2-4

International Standard Version

² It was found recorded there that Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance to the restricted areas of the palace,^[a] and that they had conspired to assassinate^[b] King Ahasuerus. ³ So the king asked, “What honor and distinction was bestowed on Mordecai for this?”

The young men who served the king answered, “Nothing was done for him.”

⁴ The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the palace to speak to the king about having Mordecai hanged on the pole he had set up.
