Esther 6:2-4

Contemporary English Version

^2 (A) When the servant read how Mordecai had kept Bigthana and Teresh from killing the king, ³ the king asked, “What has been done to reward Mordecai for this?”

“Nothing, Your Majesty!” the king's servants replied.

⁴ About this time, Haman came in to ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on the gallows he had built. The king saw him and asked, “Who is that man waiting in front of the throne room?”
