21 But not forty^* days passed before two of Sennacherib’s^* sons killed him, and they fled to the mountains of Ararat, and his son Esar-haddon^* reigned after him. He appointed Ahikar, the son of my brother Hanael^* over all the accounts of his kingdom, and he had authority over the entire administration. ²²Ahikar interceded for me, and I returned to Nineveh. Now Ahikar was chief cupbearer, keeper of the signet, and in charge of administration of the accounts under King Sennacherib of Assyria; so Esar-haddon^* reappointed him. He was my nephew and so a close relative.
