Esther A:12–17

And Mardocheus took his rest, as was his custom, in the court with Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king who kept the court.

And he heard their communings, and searched out their counsels, and learned that they were preparing to lay hands upon Artaxerxes the king; and he informed the king concerning them.

And the king examined the two eunuchs, and they confessed their intention and were led forth and executed.

And the king wrote these things for a memorial, and Mardocheus wrote concerning these things.

And the king charged Mardocheus to serve in the court, and gave him gifts in respect of these things.

And Haman, the son of Hamadathus, a ^†Bugaean^†, was in honour in the king’s sight, and sought to bring evil upon Mardocheus and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.
