Esther 2:19-23

19And when the virginsH1330 were gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 the secondH8145 timeH8145, then MordecaiH4782 was sittingH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179. 20EstherH635 had not yet madeH6213 known her kindredH4138 nor her peopleH5971; as MordecaiH4782 had charged her: for EstherH635 did the commandment of MordecaiH4782, like as when she was brought up with him. 21In those daysH3117, while MordecaiH4782 was sittingH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, twoH8147 of the king’sH4428 chamberlains, Bigthan and TereshH8657, of those that keptH8104 the threshold, were wroth, and soughtH1245 to lay handsH3027 on the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325. 22And the thingH1697 became knownH3045 to MordecaiH4782, who showed it unto EstherH635 the queenH4436; and EstherH635 toldH5046 the kingH4428 thereof in Mordecai’s nameH8034. 23And when inquisition was made of the matterH1697, and it was foundH4672 to be so, they were both hangedH8518 on a treeH6086: and it was writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles before the kingH4428.
