According to the story in the book of Tobit (sometimes also known as the book of Tobias). the demon Asmodeus fell in love with the beutiful Sarah, daughter of Raguel. Asmodeus wanted Sarah for himself, and he refused to allow her to be married to any human man. Subsequently, each time that Sarah was married, the demon came to the marriage bed and took the life of the new husband. Seven men fell to the predations of this jealous demon, until Tobias the author of the book, received a visit from the angel Raphael, who instructed him on how to handle the demon. Tobias married Sarah and drove the demon away. Asmodeus reportedly fled to the furthest reaches of Egypt, where he was bound by the Angel Raphael.
