Esther 2:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Now Esther had not yet revealed her nationality or her people, for she obeyed Mordecai’s command to her [^[a]to fear God and execute His commands] just as when she was being brought up by him.

²¹ In those days, while Mordecai sat at the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who guarded the door, were angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

²² And this was known to Mordecai, who told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in Mordecai’s name.
