He overheard their conversation and inquired into their purposes, and learned that they were preparing to lay hands upon Artaxerxes the king; and he informed the king concerning them. | |

Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and when they confessed they were led to execution. | |

The king made a permanent record of these things, and Mordecai wrote an account of them. | |

And the king ordered Mordecai to serve in the court and rewarded him for these things. | |

But Haman, the son of Hammedatha, a Bougaean, was in great honour with the king, and he sought to injure Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king. | |
