Chap. III.
Manie kinges and other princes submitte them selues to Holofernes. 8. He receiueth
them, and taketh of their chief men to reinforce his armie, 11. neuertheles
destroyeth their cities, and their goddes, that Nabuchodonosor only
might be called God.
1 Then the kinges and princes of al cities and prouinces;
namely of Syria and Mesopotamia, and Syria Sobal, and
Libya, and Cilicia sent their embassadours, which coming to
Holofernes, said:
2 Let thy indignation towarde vs cease:
For it is better that liuing we feare Nabuchodonosor the
great king, and be subiect to thee, then dying, we should
with our destruction suffer the damages of our seruitude.
3 Euerie citie of ours, and al our possession, al mountaynes,
-- --
and hilles, and fieldes, and heardes of oxen, and flockes of
sheepe, and goates, and of horses, and camels, and al our
goodes, and families are in thy sight:
4 let al our thinges be
vnder thy law.
5 We also, and our children are thy seruantes.
6 Come to vs a peaceable Lord, and vse our seruice, as it shal
please thee.
7 Then went he downe from the mountaynes
with horsemen in a great powre, and tooke euerie citie, and
euerie inhabiter of the land.
8 And of al the cities he tooke
to helpe him valiant men, and chosen for battel.
9 And so
great feare lay vpon al those prouinces, that the inhabitantes
of al cities, princes and honorable persons, together with the
people went out to meete him coming,
10 receyuing him with
garlandes, and torches, dauncing with timbrels, & shaulmes.
11 Neither doing these thinges, could they for al that mitigate
the fircenesse of his stomacke:
12 for he did both destroy
their cities, and cut downe their groues.
13 For Nabuchodonosor
the king had commanded him, that he should destroy
al the goddes of the earth, that note he only might be called
God of those nations, which could be subdewed with the
might of Holofernes.
14 And passing through al Syria Sobal,
and al Apamea, & al Mesopotamia he came to the Idumeians
into the land of Gabaa,
15 and tooke their cities, and sate
there for thirtie dayes, in which daies he commanded al the
armie of his powre to be vnited.
