Tobit 1:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
20 Then all my property was confiscated; nothing was left to me that was not taken into the royal treasury, except my wife Anna and my son Tobias.
21 But not forty[a] days passed before two of Sennacherib’s[b] sons killed him, and they fled to the mountains of Ararat, and his son Esar-haddon[c] reigned after him. He appointed Ahikar, the son of my brother Hanael[d] over all the accounts of his kingdom, and he had authority over the entire administration. 22 Ahikar interceded for me, and I returned to Nineveh. Now Ahikar was chief cupbearer, keeper of the signet, and in charge of administration of the accounts under King Sennacherib of Assyria; so Esar-haddon[e] reappointed him. He was my nephew and so a close relative.
