Esther 6:1-3
1That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles,1 to be brought in and read to him. 2And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana2 and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?”
“Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
