Tobit 14:10-12
Revised Standard Version
10 Bury me properly, and your mother with me. And do not live in Nin′eveh any longer. See, my son, what Nadab[a] did to Ahi′kar who had reared him, how he brought him from light into darkness, and with what he repaid him. But Ahi′kar was saved, and the other received repayment as he himself went down into the darkness. Ahi′kar[b] gave alms and escaped the deathtrap which Nadab[c] had set for him; but Nadab[d] fell into the trap and perished. 11 So now, my children, consider what almsgiving accomplishes and how righteousness delivers.” As he said this he died in his bed. He was a hundred and fifty-eight years old; and Tobi′as[e] gave him a magnificent funeral. 12 And when Anna died he buried her with his father.
Death of Tobit and Anna
Then Tobi′as returned with his wife and his sons to Ecbat′ana, to Rag′uel his father-in-law.
