A Plot against the King
12Now Mordecai took his rest in the courtyard with Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king who kept watch in the courtyard.* 2He overheard their conversation and inquired into their purposes and learned that they were preparing to lay hands on King Artaxerxes, and he informed the king concerning them.* 3Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after they had confessed it, they were led away.* 4The king wrote these things down as a commemoration, and Mordecai wrote an account of them. 5And the king ordered Mordecai to serve in the court and rewarded him for these things. 6But Haman son of Hammedatha, a Bougean, who was in great honor with the king, determined to injure Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.*
