Chap. XV.
The Assyrians flee for feare, 3. the Hebrewes pursue them, 7. and are enriched
by the spoyles. 9. The high priest with others come from Ierusalem and
prayse Iudith. 14. The goodes of Holofernes are geuen to her.
1 And when al the armie heard that Holofernes was beheaded,
courage and counsel fel from them, and being
shaken with trembling onlie and feare, they helpe them selues
by flight,
2 so that none spake with his neighbour, but hanging
the head, al thinges leaft behind, they made hast to
escape the Hebrewes, whom they heard to come armed vpon
them, fleing by the waies of the fieldes, and the pathes of the
hilles.
3 The children of Israel therfore seing them fleing,
folowed them. And they went downe sounding with trumpettes,
and shouting after them.
4 And because the Assyrians
were not vnited together, they went headlong into flight:
but the children of Israel pursewing in one companie, discomfited
al that they could find.
5 Ozias therfore sent messengers
through al the cities and countries of Israel.
6 Euerie
countrie therfore, and euerie citie sent chosen youth armed
after them, and they pursewed them in the edge of the
sword, vntil they came to the extremetie of their borders.
7 And the rest that were in Bethulia, entered into the campe
of the Assyrians, and tooke away the praye, which the Assyrians
fleing had leaft, and were loden excedingly.
8 But they
that were returned conquerers to Bethulia, tooke away with
them al thinges that were theirs, so that there was no number
in cattel, and beastes, and al their moueables, that from
the least vnto the greatest al were made rich of their prayes.
9 And Ioachim the high Priest came from Ierusalem into
Bethulia with al his ancientes to see Iudith. note
10 Who when
she was come out to him, they al blessed her with one voyce,
saying: note Thou art the glorie of Ierusalem, thou the ioy of
Israel, thou the honour of our people:
11 because thou hast
done manfully, and thy hart was strengthened, for that thou
hast loued chastitie, and after thy husband not knowne any
other: therfore also the hand of our Lord hath strengthened
thee, and therfore shalt thou be blessed for euer.
12 And al the
people sayd: So be it, so be it.
13 And for thirtie daies, scarse
were the spoyles of the Assyrians gathered of the people of
Israel.
14 Moreouer al thinges, that were proued to be the peculiar
-- --
goodes of Holofernes, they gaue to Iudith in gold,
and siluer, and garmentes, and pretious stones, and al stuffe,
and al the thinges were deliuered her of the people.
15 And al
the people reioysed with wemen, and virgins, and yongmen,
on instrumentes and harpes.
