Esther 2:19-23

19And when the virginsH1330 were gathered togetherH6908 the second timeH8145, then MordecaiH4782 satH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179. 20EstherH635 had not yet revealedH5046 her kindredH4138 nor her peopleH5971; as MordecaiH4782 had chargedH6680 her: for EstherH635 performedH6213 the commandmentH3982 of MordecaiH4782, as when she was brought upH545 with him.

21In those daysH3117, while MordecaiH4782 satH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, twoH8147 of the king’sH4428 chamberlainsH5631, BigthanH904 and TereshH8657, of those who keptH8104 the doorH5592, were angryH7107, and soughtH1245 to layH7971 handH3027 on the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.12 22And the thingH1697 was knownH3045 to MordecaiH4782, who toldH5046 it to EstherH635 the queenH4436; and EstherH635 informedH559 the kingH4428 of it in Mordecai’sH4782 nameH8034. 23And when enquiryH1245 was made of the matterH1697, it was discoveredH4672; therefore they were bothH8147 hangedH8518 on a treeH6086: and it was writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697H3117 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
