Esther 6:2-4

Context
6:2 it was found written that Mordecai had disclosed that Bigthana¹ and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, had plotted to assassinate² King Ahasuerus.

6:3 The king asked, “What great honor³ was bestowed on Mordecai because of this?” The king’s attendants who served him responded, “Not a thing was done for him.”

6:4 Then the king said, “Who is that in the courtyard?” Now Haman had come to the outer courtyard of the palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had constructed for him.

¹tn This individual is referred to as “Bigthan,” a variant spelling of the name, in Esth 2:21.

²tn Heb “to send a hand against”; NASB “had sought to lay hands on.”

³tn Heb “honor and greatness.” The expression is a hendiadys (see the note on 5:10 for an explanation of this figure).
