Question source
Esther
The king could not sleep, so he ordered the book of memorable deeds—the chronicles—to be brought and read to him (Esther 6:1). The reading reached the account of Mordecai’s report about the assassination plot (Esther 6:2).
1On that night the king couldn`t sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
2It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king`s chamberlains, of those who kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
