Jdt 15:1 

And when they that were in the tents heard, they were 

astonished at the thing that was done. 

Jdt 15:2 

And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no 

man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing 

out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of 

the hill country. 

Jdt 15:3 

They also that had camped in the mountains round about 

Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that 

was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them. 

Jdt 15:4 

Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and 

Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the 

things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their 

enemies to destroy them. 

Jdt 15:5 

Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon 

them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also 

they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, 

(for men had told them what things were done in the camp of 

their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, 

chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past 

Damascus and the borders thereof. 

Jdt 15:6 

And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of 

Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched. 

Jdt 15:7 

And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter 

had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that 

were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the 

multitude was very great. 

Jdt 15:8 

Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children 

of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good 

things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to 

salute her. 

Jdt 15:9 

And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one 

accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, 

thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing 

of our nation: 

Jdt 15:10 

Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done 

much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be 

thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, 

So be it. 

Jdt 15:11 

And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and 

they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, 

and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and 

laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them 

thereon. 

Jdt 15:12 

Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and 

blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took 

branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with 

her. 

Jdt 15:13 

And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that 

was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, 

leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in 

their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.
