Esther 2:21 in Context — Esther 2
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.
23 Le fait ayant été vérifié et trouvé exact, les deux eunuques furent pendus à un bois. Et cela fut écrit dans le livre des Chroniques en présence du roi.
