Esther 2:21

Context

2:21 In those days while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan 1  and Teresh, 2  two of the king’s eunuchs who protected the entrance, 3  became angry and plotted to assassinate 4  King Ahasuerus.

1 tn This individual is referred to as “Bigthana,” a variant spelling of the name, in Esth 6:2.

2 tc The LXX does not include the names “Bigthan and Teresh” here.

3 tn Heb “guarders of the threshold”; NIV “who guarded the doorway.”

4 tn Heb “sought to send a hand against”; CEV “decided to kill.”
