CHAP. III.
1 They of the Sea-coasts entreat for peace. 7
Olofernes is receiued there: 8 Yet he destroyeth
their gods, that they might worship
onely Nabuchodonosor. 9 He commeth
neere to Iudea.
1
So they sent Embassadours
vnto him, to treat
of peace, saying,
2
Behold, we the seruants
of Nabuchodonosor
the great king lie before thee; vse vs
as shall be good in thy sight.
3
Behold, our houses, and all our
places, and all our fieldes of wheat, and
flockes, and heards, and all the lodges
of our tents, lie before thy face: vse
them as it pleaseth thee.
4
Behold, euen our cities and the
inhabitants thereof are thy seruants,
come and deale with them, as seemeth
good vnto thee.
5
So the men came to Holofernes,
∧ declared vnto him after this maner.
6
Then came hee downe toward
-- --
the Sea coast, both hee and his armie,
and set garisons in the high cities, and
tooke out of them chosen men for aide.
7
So they and all the countrey
round about, receiued them with garlands,
with dances, and with timbrels.
8
Yet hee did cast downe their frontiers,
and cut downe their groues: for
hee had decreed to destroy all the gods
of the land, that all nations should worship
Nabuchodonosor onely, and that
all tongues and tribes should call vpon
him as God.
9
Also he came ouer against note Esdraelon
neere vnto note Iudea, ouer against
the note great strait of Iudea.
10
And hee pitched betweene Geba,
and Scythopolis, and there hee taried
a whole moneth, that he might gather
together all the cariages of his
armie.
