18
Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp, for her coming was noised among the tents; and they came about her as she stood outside the tent of Holofernes till they told him of her.
19
And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the children of Israel because of her; and every one said to his neighbor, "Who would despise this people who have among them such women? Surely it is not good that one man of them be left who, being let go, might deceive the whole earth."
20
And those who lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants, and they brought her into the tent.
21
Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, which was woven with purple and gold and emeralds and precious stones.
22
So they told him of her, and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
