6 This people is descended from the Chaldeans.

Judith 5:6 In-Context

4 And why have they alone, of all who live in the west, refused to come out and meet me?"

5 Then Achior, the leader of all the Ammonites, said to him, "Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of your servant, and I will tell you the truth about this people that dwells in the nearby mountain district. No falsehood shall come from your servant's mouth.

6 This people is descended from the Chaldeans.

7 At one time they lived in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers who were in Chaldea.

8 For they had left the ways of their ancestors, and they worshiped the God of heaven, the God they had come to know; hence they drove them out from the presence of their gods; and they fled to Mesopotamia, and lived there for a long time.
