9 Truly, when he had become a man, he received as wife Anna of his own tribe, and he conceived a son by her, to whom he assigned his own name.
10 From his infancy, he taught him to fear God and to abstain from all sin.
11 Therefore, when, during the captivity, he had arrived with his wife and son at the city of Nineveh, with all his tribe,
12 (even though they all ate from the foods of the Gentiles,) he guarded his soul and never was contaminated with their foods.
13 And because he was mindful of the Lord with his whole heart, God gave him favor in the sight of Shalmaneser the king.
