Esther 6:2-4

New International Version

² It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.^(A)

³ “What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?” the king asked.

“Nothing has been done for him,”^(B) his attendants answered.

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