Tobit 1:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ When Shalmaneser died, Sennacherib his son ruled in his place. The roads to Media became dangerous,^[a] and I couldn’t travel there any longer.

Tobit is harassed for his pious acts

¹⁶ During the time of Shalmaneser, I gave away a lot of money to my relatives, my fellow Jews. ¹⁷ I gave a portion of my food to the hungry and clothes to the naked. Whenever I saw that the corpse of anyone from my nation had been flung outside the wall of Nineveh, I buried it.
