And when I saw the slain of Israel cast forth outside the wall, I many times stole their corpses and buried them, and I said, O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous in all that hath come upon us, for thou hast dealt truly, and we have done wickedly.
And when Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sought the slain of my nation, the corpses of the men who were killed, and found them not, then went the men of Nineveh and told the king, saying, Thy servant Tobi, whom thou hast appointed over all that thou hast, he sendeth his men over all the streets of Nineveh to seek the slain of his nation, and he burieth them privily, and feareth thee not.
