Mordecai learns of the plot and tells Esther the queen, and Esther tells the king in the name of Mordecai, demonstrating the chain of communication between Mordecai and Esther and revealing Esther's willingness to credit Mordecai for the information while reporting it to the king. This act of reporting the conspiracy serves the king's interests and demonstrates Esther's loyalty to her husband, while also establishing Mordecai's position as someone who has access to dangerous information and the willingness to use it to protect the king. The verse illustrates how God often positions His covenant people to serve the interests of foreign rulers while secretly advancing the interests of their own people.
