Löydetty 56 Tulokset: Holofernes
Then on the fourth day, Holofernes gave a banquet for his personal servants without sending invitations to any of his officers. (Judith 12, 10)
So Bagoas left Holofernes and entered Judith's tent, and said to her, "Will this beautiful slave not hesitate to come to my lord's tent to be honored in his presence, merrily to drink wine with us and to become this very day like an Assyrian woman who dwells in the house of Nebuchadnezzar?" (Judith 12, 13)
Then she arose; she dressed in her beautiful garments and all the finery of a woman. Her servant went and spread on the ground, in front of Holofernes, the fleece which Judith had received from Bagoas for her daily use so that she could recline on it while she ate. (Judith 12, 15)
So Judith entered the tent and took her place. The heart of Holofernes was ravished by her beauty, his whole being was captivated and he had a passionate desire to possess her. Ever since the first day he had seen her, he had been waiting for an occasion to seduce her. (Judith 12, 16)
Holofernes said to her: "Drink and share our happiness." (Judith 12, 17)
Holofernes was bewitched by her and he drank a great quantity of wine, much more than he had ever drunk on any single day since his birth. (Judith 12, 20)
So Judith was left alone in the tent with Holofernes who, sodden with wine, had collapsed onto the bed. (Judith 13, 2)
Everyone left the tent of Holofernes, not one - small or great - remained in the room. Judith, then, stood by Holofernes' bed and prayed in her heart, "Lord God all-powerful, help me now in what I will do for the glory of Jerusalem. (Judith 13, 4)
Then she moved towards the bedpost near Holofernes' head and took down the sword and, (Judith 13, 6)
She then rolled his body from the bed and took off the hangings from the columns. Then she went out at once and gave the head of Holofernes to her servant (Judith 13, 9)
And, taking out the head of Holofernes from the bag, she showed it to them saying, "Here is the head of Holofernes, general-in-chief of the Assyrian army, and here are the hangings under which he was lying in his drunkenness. The Lord has struck him down by the hand of a woman. (Judith 13, 15)
The Assyrian guards will seize their arms, and go towards their camp to awaken the generals of the Assyrian army. These officers will run to the tent of Holofernes but will not find him; fear will then come upon them and they will flee from you. (Judith 14, 3)
