Tobit 1:20-22
Revised Standard Version
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 Ararat. 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. 22 Ahi′kar interceded for me, and I returned to Nin′eveh. Now Ahi′kar was cupbearer, keeper of the signet, and in charge of administration of the accounts, for Esarhad′don[d] had appointed him second to himself.[e] He was my nephew.
