✔ Step-by-step analysis:

#### 1. "The king's servants read to him from the Bible"
- Bible Reference: Esther 6:1 says, *"That night the king could not sleep... So he ordered the book of records to be brought..."*
- The king had his servants read the book of records (chronicles), which was a record of past events, not the Bible as we know it today.
- This is not the same as reading from the Bible (which includes the Old Testament books).
- ✘ FALSE

> 🔹 Note: In ancient times, “the Bible” wasn’t compiled yet; the book being read was a royal record, not scripture.

#### 2. "Bigthana and Teresh were chefs in the royal palace"
- Bible Reference: Esther 6:2 says, *"And the king’s servants said, ‘We have found a record that Mordecai told two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthana and Teresh, who guarded the doorway, that they had conspired to assassinate the king.’"*
- They were eunuchs, not chefs. Their job was guarding the king’s door.

#### 5. "Haman was led through the city square on horseback"
- Bible Reference: Esther 6:9 says, *"Then dress Mordecai in royal robes and lead him through the city square on a horse belonging to the king."*

- Haman was forced to lead Mordecai on horseback.
- ✘ FALSE

#### 6. "Haman was married to Vashti"
