Chapter 2

1

AND Mordekai took his rest in the court with Bigthan and Teresh, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers of the palace.

2

And he heard their devices, and searched out their purposes, and learned that they were about to lay hands upon Artachshashta the king; and so he certified the king of them.

3

Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after that they had confessed it, they were strangled.

4

And the king made a record of these things, and Mordekai also wrote thereof.

5

So the king commanded, Mordekai to serve in the court, and for this he rewarded him.

6

Howbeit Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagiy, who was in great honor with the king, sought to molest Mordekai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.
