Tobit 1:17

Tobit 1:17 Context

¹⁵Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his sonne reigned in his stead, whose estate was troubled, that I could not goe into Media. ¹⁶And in the time of Enemessar, I gaue many almes to my brethren, and gaue my bread to the hungry, ¹⁷And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walles of Nineue, I buried him. ¹⁸And if the king Sennacherib had slaine any, when hee was come, and fledde from Iudea, I buried them priuily, (for in his wrath hee killed many) but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king. ¹⁹And when one of the Nineuites went, and complained of me to the king that I buried them, and hid my selfe: vnderstanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew my selfe for feare.
