1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that Mor´decai had told of Bigtha´na and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasue´rus.
3 And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been done to Mor´decai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mor´decai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
