Tobit 1:10-15

Tobit rewarded for his piety

10 After I was taken captive to Assyria and came to Nineveh,^[a] all my relatives and fellow Jews there were eating Gentile food.

11 I, however, avoided eating the Gentiles' food.

12 Because I kept God in view with all my heart,

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,^[b] and I couldn't travel there any longer.
