Esther 6:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² During the reading, the passage came up about Mordecai uncovering the plot to assassinate King Ahasuerus on the part of Bagathan and Teresh, two of the royal eunuchs who guarded the doorway.

³ The king asked, “How has Mordecai been honored and rewarded for this?”

The attendants said, “He has received neither honor nor reward.”

⁴ The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just come into the outer court of the king’s palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gibbet that he had built for him.
