1ANd when thei that were in the tents, heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done. 2And feare and trembling fel vpon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour: but altogether amased, thei fled by euerie way of the plaine and of the mountaines. 3They also that had camped in the mountaines rounde about Bethulia, were put to flight: then the children of Israel, euery one that was a warriour among them, russhed out vpon them. 4Then sent Ozias to Bethomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Chola and to all the coastes of Israel, suche as shulde declare vnto them the things that were done, and that all shulde rushe forthe vpon their enemies to destroy them. 5Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell vpon them together vnto Choba: likewise also thei that came from Ierusalem & from all the mountaines: for men had tolde them what things were done in the campe of their enemies, and they that were in Galaad and in Galile chased them with a great slaughter vntil they came to Damascus and to the coastes thereof. 6And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fel vpon the campe of Assur and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched. 7And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter, had the rest: & the villages & the cities that were in the mountaines & in the plaine, had a great bootie: for the abundance was verie great. 8Then Ioacim the hie Priest, and the Ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Ierusalem, came to confirme the benefites that God had shewed to Israel, and to se Iudeth, and to salute her. 9And when they came vnto her, thei blessed her with one accorde, & said vnto her, Thou art the exaltacion of Ierusalem: thou art the great glorie of Israel: thou art the great reioycing of our nacion. 10Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done muche good to Israel, & God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the almightie Lord for euermore: and all the people said, So be it. 11And the people spoyled the campe the space of thirtie daies, and thei gaue vnto Iudeth Olofernes tent, and all his siluer & beddes, and basins, and all his stuffe, & she toke it and laied it on her mules, & made readie her charets, & laied them thereon. 12Then all the women of Israel came together to se her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her, and she toke branches in her hand, and gaue also to the women that were with her. 13They also crowned her with oliues, and her that was with her, and she went before the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour, with crownes and with songs in their mouthes.
