Esther 2:21-23 In
those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's
chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and
sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the thing was known to Mordecai,
who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in
Mordecai's name. And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out;
therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of
the chronicles before the king. Mordecai hung around the king’s gate to
make sure Esther was alright. But one day he overheard two men plotting to
assassinate the king. He told Esther of their plans and Esther told the king.
After an investigation, their evil plot was foiled and they were hanged.
Mordecai should have been rewarded, but the incident went unnoticed - at least
for a while. But then, that was in God’s plan as well.
