18 Então o rei fez um grande banquete a todos seus príncipes e servos, o banquete de Ester; e deu repouso às províncias, e deu presentes, conforme a generosidade do rei.

19 E quando as virgens se ajuntaram pela segunda vez, Mardoqueu estava sentado à porta do rei.

20 Ester, [porém] ,não tinha declarado sua parentela nem seu povo, assim como Mardoqueu havia lhe mandado; porque Ester fazia o que Mardoqueu mandava, assim como quando ele a criava.

21 Naqueles dias, estando Mardoqueu sentado à porta do rei, Bigtã e Teres, dois eunucos do rei, dos guardas da porta, ficaram muito indignados, e procuravam matar o rei Assuero.
