2 And when he realized their thoughts, and had diligently paid close attention, he learned that they were attempting to cast their hand against king Artaxerxes, and he reported this to the king.
3 Then the king had both of them questioned, and when they confessed, he ordered a sentence of death.
4 But the king had what had happened written in the commentaries. And even Mordecai handed over the memory of these things into writing.
