Revised Literal Translation

Esther 6:1-3

1On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.1

2And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.2 3

3And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
