Tobit 1:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² Since I took seriously the commands of the Most High God, ¹³ he made Emperor Shalmaneser respect me, and I was placed in charge of purchasing all the emperor's supplies.

¹⁴ Before the emperor died, I made regular trips to the land of Media to buy things for him there. Once, when I was in the city of Rages in Media, I left some bags of money there with Gabael, Gabrias' brother, and asked him to keep them for me. There were more than 600 pounds of silver coins in those bags.
