Judith 14:12-19
-
12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.
-
13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.
-
14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.
-
15 But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.
-
16 Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.
-
17 After he went into the tent where Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried,
-
18 These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.
-
19 When the captains of the Assyrians' army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.
