The King Reads the Chronicles

Esther 6:1-5
1
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2
And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
