14
So Holofernes left the presence of his master, and called together all the commanders, generals, and officers of the Assyrian army,
15
and mustered the picked troops by divisions as his lord had ordered him to do, one hundred and twenty thousand of them, together with twelve thousand archers on horseback,
16
and he organized them as a great army is marshaled for a campaign.
17
He collected a vast number of camels and asses and mules for transport, and innumerable sheep and oxen and goats for provision;
18
also plenty of food for every man, and a huge amount of gold and silver from the royal palace.
