Mordecai Honoured by the King
6 That night sleep escaped(A) the king, so he ordered the book recording daily events to be brought and read to the king. 2 They found the written report of how Mordecai had informed on Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, when they planned to assassinate King Ahasuerus.(B) 3 The king enquired, ‘What honour and special recognition have been given to Mordecai for this act? ’(C)
The king’s personal attendants replied, ‘Nothing has been done for him.’
