Tobit 1:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ But a certain citizen of Nineveh told the king that I was the one who was burying them in secret. When I learned that the king was aware of what I was doing and that he wanted to put me to death, I was overcome with fear and fled. ²⁰ Everything that I possessed was seized and confiscated for the royal treasury. Nothing was left to me except for my wife Anna and my son Tobiah.

²¹ However, less than forty days later the king was murdered by two of his sons, who then fled to the mountains of Ararat. His son Esarhaddon, who succeeded him as king, appointed Ahiqar, the son of my brother Anael, to be in charge of all the revenues of the kingdom, with control of the entire administration.^[a]
