Esther 2:19-23
191When the virginsH1330 were gatheredH6908 together the secondH8145 timeH8145, then MordecaiH4782 2was sittingH3427 at the king’sH4428 gateH8179.
203EstherH635 had not yet made knownH5046 her kindredH4138 or her peopleH5971, evenH3512 as MordecaiH4782 had commandedH6680 her; for EstherH635 didH6213 4whatH3982 MordecaiH4782 toldH5046 her as she had doneH1961 5whenH3512 under his careH545.
21In thoseH1992 daysH3117, while MordecaiH4782 was sittingH3427 at the king’sH4428 gateH8179, 6BigthanH904 and TereshH8657, twoH8147 of the king’sH4428 officialsH5631 from those who guardedH8104 the doorH5592, becameH7107 angryH7107 and soughtH1245 to 7layH7971 handsH3027 on KingH4428 AhasuerusH325.
22But the 8plotH1697 became knownH3045 to MordecaiH4782 and 9he toldH5046 QueenH4436 EstherH635, and EstherH635 10informedH559 the kingH4428 in Mordecai’sH4782 nameH8034.
23Now when the plotH1697 was investigatedH1245 and foundH4672 to be so, they were bothH8147 hangedH8518 on a 11gallowsH6086; and it was writtenH3789 in 12the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 in the king’sH4428 presenceH6440.
