Salmanasser (called Enemesser by Tobit (chap. 1) invaded ^a^[1] all Phœnicia, took the city Samaria & captivated Israel & placed them in Chalach & Chabor by the river Gozan, & in the cities of the Medes. And Hosea ^b^[2] seems to say that he took Arbela. And his successor Sennacherib saith that his fathers had conquered also Gozan & Haran (or Carrhæ) & Reseph (or Resen) & the children of Eden & Arpad or the Arradij. 2 King XIX.12.

Sennacherib the son of Salmanasser in the 14^th year of Hezekiah, invaded Phœnicia, & took several cities of Iudah, & attempted Egypt; & Sethon or Sevechus king of Egypt and Tirhakah king of Æthiopia coming against him , he lost in one night 185000 men, as some say by a plague, or perhaps by lightning or a fiery wind w^ch blows sometimes in the neighbouring deserts, or as others by being disarmed by mise eating their bowstrings, or rather surprised by Sethon & Tirhakah. For the Egyptians in memory of this action erected a statue to Sethon holding in his hand a mouse the \Egyptian/ symbol of destruction. Vpon this defeat Sennacherib returned in hast to Nineveh, & his kingdom became troubled so that Tobit could not go into Media. And he |went after ^a^[3] his kingdom became troubled so that Tobit could not go into Media. And he| was slain by two of his sons who fled into Armenia & his son Asserhadon succeeded him,|.| & his estate kingdom became troubled so that Tobit ^a could not go into Media. At that time did Merodach Baladin or Mardocempad king of Babylon send an embassy to Hezekiah king of Iudah.
