16. And in the days of Enemessar I did many alms deeds to my brethren: I gave my bread to the hungry,
17. and my garments to the naked: and if I saw any of my race dead, and cast forth on the wall of Ninevah, I buried him.
18. And if Sennacherib the king killed any, when he came fleeing from Judaea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; and the bodies were sought for by the king, and were not found.
19. But one of the Ninevites went and showed to the king concerning me, how that I buried them, and hid myself; and when I knew that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
