Tobit 1:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ I also buried anyone whom Sennacherib murdered after fleeing home from Judea, at the time when the king of heaven had punished him for all his insulting actions. In his rage Sennacherib killed many Israelites. However, I would take their bodies and bury them secretly. Sennacherib looked for them, but he didn’t find them. ¹⁹ A native Ninevite went to the king and told him that I was the one burying the bodies. So I went into hiding. When I found out^[a] that I was being hunted down to be put to death, I fled from the city in fear. ²⁰ All my possessions were seized, and everything of mine became royal property except for my wife Anna and my son Tobias.
