Bigthan and Teresh, the king’s eunuchs who were doorkeepers, seek to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus and are both hanged on a gallows

문 지킨 왕의 내시 빅단과 데레스가 아하수에로왕을 모살하려 하다가 나무에 달림

Esther 2:21–23: in those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus. This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informs the king in Mordecai’s name. “When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.” The Korean Revised Version gives 2:23 no subject (사실하여 실정을 얻었으므로 두 사람을 나무에 달고, examined it and found it so, and hanged the two on a tree), where WEB reads it in the passive, and reads 나무 (tree) where WEB reads “gallows”; at 2:22 it reads 모르드개가 알고 (Mordecai knew it).
