Tobit 1:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ Then one of the Ninevites went and informed the king about me, that I was burying them, so I hid myself. But when I realized that the king knew about me and that I was being searched for to be put to death, I was afraid and ran away. ²⁰ Then all my property was confiscated; nothing was left to me that was not taken into the royal treasury except my wife Anna and my son Tobias.^(A)

²¹ But not forty days passed before two of Sennacherib’s^[a] sons killed him, and when they fled to the mountains of Ararat, his son Esar-haddon^[b] reigned after him. He appointed Ahikar, the son of my brother Hanael,^[c] over all the accounts of his kingdom, and he had authority over the entire administration.^(B)
