Tobit 1:18
“Tobias is ordered by the king to be killed, and all his property to be taken away because of the good he had done, etc. And the devil strove to destroy the people of God with spiritual death through idolatry, and to take away all the riches of virtues from them, but he could not; because there were many holy teachers…”
18And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.

16And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,
17And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.
— Tobit 1:18 —
19And when one of the Ninevites went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
20Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was there any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and my son Tobias.
