¹⁶ When you stand before him, don’t let your heart be afraid. Tell him everything you just told us, and he’ll treat you well.”

Judith meets Holofernes

¹⁷ The patrol chose one hundred of their men to accompany Judith and her servant, and they led them to Holofernes’ tent. ¹⁸ The soldiers in the camp turned out in droves, for word of her arrival had spread from tent to tent. So they came and stood around her as she waited outside Holofernes’ tent while the patrol told him about her.
