{"product_id":"2940014339919","title":"THE STORY OF AHIKAR","description":"The Story of Ahikar is one of the oldest sources of wisdom literature. Its influence can be traced through the Koran, as well as the Old and New Testaments. The oldest version, which we can only assume to be the original Papyrus, appears to have been produced circa 500 B. C. It is written in Aramaic and was discovered among the ruins of Elephantine. \u003cbr\u003eThe earliest mention of Ahikar is in the Book of Tobit in the form of the name \"Achiacharus\". According to the book of Tobit, Ahikar was a relative and friend to Tobit. He was the chief counselor of the Assyrian ruler, Sennacherib. The book of Tobit mentions Nadab, Ahiker’s nephew, whom Ahikar adopted, and who sought to repay the kindness by attempting to kill his uncle. In the first chapter (verses 21, 22) you read that he was a great officer at the court of king Esarhaddon; and at the end of the book (xiv. 10) you may learn something about his story; for Tobit says to his son Tobias, \"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.\"","brand":"Fifth Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080171864304,"sku":"2940014339919","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014339919_p0.jpg?v=1763606471","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014339919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
