| 1 | Now Mordecai took his rest in the courtyard with Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king who kept watch in the courtyard. | Mordecai saves the king's life. Est.12.1-6 | |
| 2 | 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. | ||
| 3 | Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and when they confessed they were led to execution. | ||
| 4 | The king made a permanent record of these things, and Mordecai wrote an account of them. | ||
| 5 | And the king ordered Mordecai to serve in the court and rewarded him for these things. | ||
| 6 | 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. | ||
