And 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.
And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of
his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus
his son reigned in
his stead; who appointed over
his father’s accounts, and over all
his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.
Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have
strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring
his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
And that I never
polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be
his heir, neither any near
kinsman, nor any son of
his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and
pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
And Raphael was sent to
heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of
Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of
Tobit; and to bind
Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The
selfsame time came
Tobit home, and entered into
his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to
transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.
Then he said unto him, Go and
tarry not. So he went in and said to
his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a
trusty man to go with thee.
So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare
thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when
his son had prepared all things for the journey,
his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven,
prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.
But
Anna his mother
wept, and said to
Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.
As for the gall, it is good to
anoint a man that hath whiteness in
his eyes, and he shall be
healed.
And the devil shall smell it, and
flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is
merciful, who will have
pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and
his heart was
effectually joined to her.
Then said Raguel to Edna
his wife, How like is this young man to
Tobit my cousin!
And likewise Edna
his wife and Sara
his daughter
wept. Moreover they entertained them
cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou
didst talk in the way, and let this business be
dispatched.
Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.
After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
Thou madest Adam, and gavest him
Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
But when Raguel was come into his house,
He said unto
his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may
bury him, and no man know it.
Then Raguel
bade his servants to fill the grave.
And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.
And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the
wedding: and Tobias blessed
his wife.
Now
Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were
expired, and they came not,
Then
his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to
wail him, and said,
But
his father in law said unto him,
Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.
Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
And he said to
his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he
kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my
dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may
rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not
entreat her evil.
After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
And when she
espied him coming, she said to
his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
Therefore
anoint thou
his eyes with the gall, and being
pricked therewith, he shall
rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
Tobit also went forth toward the door, and
stumbled: but
his son ran unto him,
And took hold of
his father: and he
strake of the gall on
his fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
And the whiteness
pilled away from the corners of
his eyes: and when he saw
his son, he fell upon
his neck.
For thou hast
scourged, and hast taken
pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And
his son went in
rejoicing, and told
his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
Then
Tobit went out to meet
his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve,
rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go
marvelled, because he had received
his sight.
But Tobias gave
thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara
his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art
welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all
his brethren which were at Nineve.
And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother’s son, came:
Then
Tobit called
his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have
his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.
Then he took them both apart, and said unto them,
Bless God, praise him, and
magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and
exalt his name, and honourably to
shew forth the works of God; therefore be not
slack to praise him.
Then
Tobit wrote a prayer of
rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be
his kingdom.
For he
doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to
hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid
his hand.
There declare
his greatness, and
extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.
If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide
his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and
confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and
extol the
everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare
his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?
I will
extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall
rejoice in
his greatness.
Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteousness.
Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the
everlasting King, that
his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are
captives, and love in thee for ever those that are
miserable.
And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost
his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave
alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.
And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.
So shall all nations praise the Lord, and
his people shall
confess God, and the Lord shall
exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall
rejoice,
shewing mercy to our brethren.
And
bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but
tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had
his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave
alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the
snare, and perished.
And when
Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with
his father. But Tobias departed with
his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel
his father in law,
Where he became old with honour, and he buried
his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and
his father
Tobit’s.
But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before
his death he
rejoiced over Nineve.
And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of
his mighty armies, and for the setting in
array of
his footmen:
But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him:
yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away
his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.
Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very
angry with all this country, and
sware by
his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be
avenged upon all those coasts of
Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would
slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of
Ammon, and all
Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.
Then he marched in battle
array with
his power against king Arphaxad in the
seventeenth year, and he prevailed in
his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all
his horsemen, and all
his chariots,
And became lord of
his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and
spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.
He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and
smote him through with
his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.
So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and all
his company of
sundry nations being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took
his ease, and
banqueted, both he and
his army, an hundred and twenty days.
So he called unto him all
his officers, and all
his nobles, and communicated with them
his secret counsel, and concluded the
afflicting of the whole earth out of
his own mouth.
Then they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.
And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him.
Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the army of Assur;
And he
mustered the chosen men for the battle, as
his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on
horseback;
Then he went forth and all
his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their
chariots, and
horsemen, and their chosen
footmen.
Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.
And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he
tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of
his army.
He will send
his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them: but we
his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not able to
sustain the power of our horses.
Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia.
And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.
The next day Holofernes commanded all
his army, and all
his people which were come to take
his part, that they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take
aforehand the ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of Israel.
Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to
his neighbour, Now will these men
lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.
Then every man took up
his weapons of war, and when they had
kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.
But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all
his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,
And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his people.
And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken.
Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a
spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all
his army.
For it is better for us to be made a
spoil unto them, than to die for
thirst: for we will be
his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.
Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet
endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn
his mercy toward us; for he will not
forsake us utterly.
For as he stood overseeing them that bound
sheaves in the field, the heat came upon
his head, and he fell on
his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with
his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.
For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know
his mind, or
comprehend his purpose?
Nay, my brethren,
provoke not the Lord our God to anger.
Remember what things he did to Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in
Mesopotamia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of
Laban his mother’s brother.
And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will
shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and
win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of
his men.
Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.
And they wondered at her beauty, and
admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to
his neighbour, Who would
despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might
deceive the whole earth.
And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.
Now Holofernes rested upon
his bed under a
canopy, which was
woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and precious stones.
So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
And when
Judith was come before him and
his servants they all
marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and
his servants took her up.
And if thou
wilt follow the words of thine
handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee; and my lord shall not fail of
his purposes.
As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.
Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.
Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.
