Tobit 1:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ the Most High gave me favor and good standing with Shalmaneser, and I was entrusted with the task of purchasing everything he needed. ¹⁴ Until his death I used to travel to Media to buy supplies for him there, and I deposited pouches of money worth ten talents in the care of my kinsman Gabael, son of Gabri, who lived at Rages, in Media. ¹⁵ However, when Shalmaneser died and his son Sennacherib^[a] succeeded him as king, the roads into Media became dangerous, and so I could no longer travel there.
