ther had commanded me, because I was left an
orphan by my father.

Tob 1:9
Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married
Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.

Tob 1:10
And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my
brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread
of the Gentiles.

Tob 1:11
But I kept myself from eating;

Tob 1:12
Because I remembered God with all my heart.

Tob 1:13
And the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar,
so that I was his purveyor.

Tob 1:14
And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the
brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of
silver.

Tob 1:15
Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in
his stead; whose estate was troubled, that I could not go into
Media.

Tob 1:16
And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren,
and gave my bread to the hungry,

Tob 1:17
And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation

Tob 1:18
And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come,

Tob 1:20
Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was there
any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and my son Tobias.

Tob 1:21
And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his
sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath;
and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed over
his father's accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my
brother Anael's son.

Tob 1:22
And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now
Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and

Tob 2:1
Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored
unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is
the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner

Tob 2:2
