While sitting at the king’s gate, Mordecai overheard a discussion between two of the king’s officers. They were angry with the king and were plotting to assassinate him. Mordecai told Queen Esther who passed the information on to the king, letting him know that the information came from Mordecai. An investigation supported the charge and the two officers were sentenced and executed. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Esther 2:21-23]
