Esther 2:21–23, “In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai’s name. And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.”
Mordecai had told Esther not to let anyone know that she was a Jew. He spent time waiting close to the palace gates so that he could get as much information as possible and do everything he could to protect Esther in her position. He started waiting near the gate long before she ever was selected to be the queen. While Mordecai was waiting near the gate, he heard two public servants plotting to assassinate the king. Mordecai was a good citizen, even though he was in Exile, so he reported the plot to the king. The men were punished and the matter was recorded in the official archives. Nothing else happened at the time and Mordecai continued to try and protect Esther, as he could.
