12[1] That night, Mordecai was in the palace courtyard. He was resting not far from Gabatha and Tharra, the two officers who were on guard duty.
13[2] Mordecai overheard them talking, and as he listened carefully, he realized they were planning to murder King Artaxerxes.
Mordecai warned Artaxerxes about the plot to kill him.
14[3] The two officers confessed when Artaxerxes questioned them, and so he gave orders for them to be put to death.
15[4] He also ordered that a report of these events be written in his records, and Mordecai also wrote down what had happened.
16[5] Artaxerxes appointed Mordecai to a position in the royal court and gave him a reward.
17[6] Haman son of Hammedatha was one of the king's most honored officials, and he became angry because the two officers had been put to death. So he decided to find a way to harm Mordecai and all the Jewish people.
