Tobit 1:14-19 World English Bible (WEB)

14. And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages of Media, ten talents of silver.

15. And when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; and in his time the highways were troubled, and I could no more go into Media.

16. And in the days of Enemessar I did many alms deeds to my brethren: I gave my bread to the hungry,

17. and my garments to the naked: and if I saw any of my race dead, and cast forth on the wall of Ninevah, I buried him.

18. And if Sennacherib the king killed any, when he came fleeing from Judaea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; and the bodies were sought for by the king, and were not found.

19. But one of the Ninevites went and showed to the king concerning me, how that I buried them, and hid myself; and when I knew that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
