Esther 2:20-22
English Standard Version
20 (A)Esther had not made known her kindred or her people, as Mordecai had commanded her, for Esther obeyed Mordecai just (B)as when she was brought up by him. 21 In those days, as Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, (C)Bigthan and (D)Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 22 And this came to the knowledge of Mordecai, (E)and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in the name of Mordecai.

20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.(A)
21 During the time Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthana[a] and Teresh, two of the king’s officers(B) who guarded the doorway, became angry(C) and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes. 22 But Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai.
