Tobit 1:21-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ But not forty days passed before two of Sennacherib’s^[a] sons killed him, and when they fled to the mountains of Ararat, his son Esar-haddon^[b] reigned after him. He appointed Ahikar, the son of my brother Hanael,^[c] over all the accounts of his kingdom, and he had authority over the entire administration.^{(A) 22} Ahikar interceded for me, and I returned to Nineveh. Now Ahikar was chief cupbearer, keeper of the signet, and in charge of administration and accounts under King Sennacherib of Assyria, so Esar-haddon^[d] appointed him as second-in-command. He was my nephew^[e] and so a close relative.^(B)
