20
So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months, and Judith remained with them.
21
After this time, every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained on her own possession, and was in her time honorable in all the country.
22
And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life after Manasseh her husband was dead and was gathered to his people.
23
But she increased more and more in honor, and waxed old in her husband's house, being a hundred and five years old, and made her maid free. So she died in Bethulia; and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasseh,
24
and the house of Israel lamented her seven days. And before she died, she distributed her goods to all those who were nearest of kindred to Manasseh her husband, and to those who were the nearest of her kindred.
