(2) And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Reader! go on to remark the hand of the LORD in what is here related. How came the persons who read to the king, to light upon this part of the Chronicles which referred to Mordecai? Surely he that made the king sleepless, caused the Readers of the Chronicles to turn to this chapter. Oh! how sweet is it, to see GOD'S hand in all providences! and if possible how far sweeter, to trace the LORD'S hand, in causing his servants the ministers to read such scriptures, and to preach such sermons as they themselves are perhaps unconscious of, but yet the LORD directs to the heart of sinners. Surely (saith the patriarch) the LORD is in this place, and I knew it not. Genesis 28:16.
