Esther 6:3

"It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights God's sovereign control over events, as His plan through Mordecai led to the discovery of a plot against the king. It sets the stage for the dramatic反转，显示了上帝如何通过摩利大（Mordecai）的行动揭示了一个企图谋害国王的阴谋，从而为后续事件的发展铺平道路。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

It was a settled principle of the Persian government that “Royal Benefactors” were to receive an adequate reward. The names of such persons were placed on a special roll, and care was taken that they should be properly recompensed, though they sometimes waited for months or years before they were rewarded.
