CHAP. III.
The people subiect to Olofernes. 8 Hee destroyed their gods that
Nabuchodonosor might onely be worshipped.
1 So they sent ambassadours to him with messages
of peace, saying,
2 Beholde, we are the seruants of Nabuchodonosor
the great king: we lie downe before thee: vse
vs as shalbe good in thy sight.
3 Beholde, our houses and all our places, and all
our fieldes of wheate, & our flocks, and our heards,
and all our lodges and tabernacles lie before thy
face: vse them as it pleaseth thee.
4 Beholde, euen our cities and the inhabitantes
therof are thy seruants come, and take them, as seemeth
good to thee.
5 ¶2; So the men came to Olofernes, and declared
vnto them after this maner.
6 Th&ebar; came he downe toward þe; sea coast, both
he and his armie, and set garisons in the hie cities,
and tooke out of them chosen men for the warre.
7 So they and all the countrey round about receiued
them, with crownes, with daunces, and with
timbrels.
8 Yet he brake downe all their borders, and cut
downe their woods: for it was inioyned him to destroy
al the gods of the land, that al nations should
worship Nabuchodonosor only, & that all tongues
and tribes should call vpon him as God.
9 Also he came against Esdrælon, neere vnto
Iudea, ouer against the great straite of Iudea,
10 And he pitched betweene Geba, and a citie
of þe; Scythians, & there he taried a moneth, that he
might assemble all the baggage of his armie.
