Esth. 2:21-23
1. Why do you think Xerxes failed to express appreciation?
I think that Xerxes failed to express appreciation because Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, eventually became angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
Esth. 6:1-11
2. How did he correct his mistake?
When Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, credit was given to Mordecai. All this was recorded in the book of the annals in the presence of the king.
King Xerxes then rewarded Mordecai by bringing a royal robe the king has worn and a horse the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head and then let the robe and horse be entrusted to Mordecai whom the king delights to honor. Mordecai will be led on the horse through the city streets, proclaimed, 'This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!' "
