Esther 2:20 in Context — Esther 2
18 Le roi donna un grand festin à tous ses princes et à ses serviteurs, un festin en l’honneur d’Esther; il accorda du repos aux provinces, et fit des présents avec une libéralité royale.
19 La seconde fois qu’on assembla les jeunes filles, Mardochée était assis à la porte du roi.
20 Esther n’avait fait connaître ni sa naissance ni son peuple, car Mardochée le lui avait défendu, et elle suivait les ordres de Mardochée aussi fidèlement qu’à l’époque où elle était sous sa tutelle.
21 Dans ce même temps, comme Mardochée était assis à la porte du roi, Bigthan et Théresch, deux eunuques du roi, gardes du seuil, cédèrent à un mouvement d’irritation et voulurent porter la main sur le roi Assuérus.
22 Mardochée eut connaissance de la chose et en informa la reine Esther, qui la redit au roi de la part de Mardochée.
