Tobit 1:19-21
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 Then one of the men of Nin′eveh went and informed the king about me, that I was burying them; so I hid myself. When I learned that I was being searched for, to be put to death, I left home in fear. 20 Then all my property was confiscated and nothing was left to me except my wife Anna and my son Tobi′as.
21 But not fifty[a] days passed before two of Sennach′erib’s[b] sons killed him, and they fled to the mountains of Ar′arat. Then Esarhad′don,[c] his son, reigned in his place; and he appointed Ahi′kar, the son of my brother An′ael, over all the accounts of his kingdom and over the entire administration.
