Tobit 1:15

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 1:15 In-Context

13 the Most High gave me favor and good standing before Shalmaneser, and I would buy for him everything he needed.
14 I used to go to Media on business for him until he died. While in the land of Media, I entrusted ten talents' worth of silver to Gabael brother of Gabri.
15 When Shalmaneser died, Sennacherib his son ruled in his place. The roads to Media became dangerous, and I couldn't travel there any longer.
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.
