Chap. IIII.
note
The children of Israel excedingly fearing Holofernes forces, 3. prouide to resist
him, by the exhortation of the High priest, vsing both humaine, 8. and diuine
meanes.
1 Then the children of Israel, which dwelt in the Land
of Iuda, hearing these thinges, were sore afrayd of his
presence. note
2 Trembling also, and horrour inuaded their senses,
lest he would doe that to Ierusalem and to the temple of our
Lord, which he had done to other cities, and their temples.
3 And they sent into al Samaria round about, as for as Iericho,
and preoccupated al the toppes of mountaynes:
4 and they
compassed their townes with walles, and gathered together
corne for prouision of battel.
5 Eliachim note the priest wrote
to al, that were against Esdrelon, which is against the face of
the great fielde beside Dothain, and to al, by whom there
might be passage of way, that they should take the ascentes
-- --
of the mountaynes, by which there might be way to Ierusalem,
and should keepe watch, where the way was narrow betwen
the mountaynes.
7 And the children of Israel did according
as the Priest of our Lord, Eliachim had appointed
them.
8 And al the people cried to our Lord with great instance,
and they humbled their soules in fastings, and prayers
they & their wiues.
9 And the Priestes put on heare clothes,
and they laide the infantes prostrate against the face of the
temple of our Lord, and the altar of our Lord they couered
with hearecloth:
10 and they cried to our Lord the God of
Israel With one accord, that their infantes might not be geu&ebar;
into praye, & their wiues into spoile, and their cities into destruction,
and their holie thinges into pollution, and they be
made a reproch to the Gentiles.
11 Then Eliachim the high
Priest of our Lord went about al Israel and spake to them,
12 saying: Know ye, that our Lord wil heare your prayers, if
continewing you continew in fastinges and prayers in the
sight of our Lord.
13 Be mindful of Moyses the seruant of our
Lord, who ouerthrew Amalec trusting in his power, and in
his might, and in his armie, & in his shieldes, & in his chariotes,
& in his horsemen, not by fighting, but with holie prayers:
14 so shal al the enemies of Israel be; if you perseuere in
this worke, which you haue begunne.
15 They therfore at
this exhortation of his, beseching our Lord, continewed in
the sight of our Lord,
16 so that they also, which offered the
holocaustes to our Lod, did offer the sacrifices to our Lord
girded with heareclothes, and there were ashes vpon their
head.
17 And they al prayed God with al their hart, that he
would visite his people Israel.
