Esther 2:20-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁰ (Esther had not revealed her family or her nationality because when Mordecai had been taking care of her, Mordecai had told her not to do so.)

²¹ When Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gatehouse, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who controlled access to the entrance to the palace, became very angry and plotted to kill King Xerxes. ²² When Mordecai learned about this, he told Queen Esther. She passed the report along to the king, crediting Mordecai by name.
