Löydetty 641 Tulokset: Israelites
Holofernes having commanded his tent-orderlies to seize Achior, to take him to Bethulia and to hand him over to the Israelites, (Judith 6, 10)
The Israelites then came down from their town, stopped by him, unbound him and took him to Bethulia, where they brought him before the chief men of the town, (Judith 6, 14)
The following day Holofernes issued orders to his whole army and to the whole host of auxiliaries who had joined him, to break camp and march on Bethulia, to occupy the mountain passes and so open the campaign against the Israelites. (Judith 7, 1)
When the Israelites saw this horde, they were all appalled and said to each other, 'Now they will lick the whole country clean. Not even the loftiest peaks, the gorges or the hills will be able to stand the weight of them.' (Judith 7, 4)
On the second day Holofernes deployed his entire cavalry in sight of the Israelites in Bethulia. (Judith 7, 6)
These Israelites do not rely so much on their spears as on the height of the mountains where they live. And admittedly it is not at all easy to scale these heights of theirs. (Judith 7, 10)
Accordingly, a troop of Moabites moved forward with a further five thousand Assyrians. They penetrated the valley and seized the Israelites' waterpoints and springs. (Judith 7, 17)
The Israelites called on the Lord their God, dispirited because the enemy had surrounded them and cut all line of retreat. (Judith 7, 19)
They were immediately impressed by her beauty and impressed with the Israelites because of her. 'Who could despise a people who have women like this?' they kept saying. 'Better not leave one of them alive; let any go and they could twist the whole world round their fingers!' (Judith 10, 19)
As soon as the Israelites heard the news, they fell on them as one man and massacred them all the way to Choba. The men of Jerusalem and the entire mountain country also rallied to them, once they had been informed of the events in the enemy camp. Then the men of Gilead and Galilee attacked them on the flank and struck at them fiercely till they neared Damascus and its territory. (Judith 15, 5)
The Israelites returning from the slaughter seized what was left. The hamlets and villages of the mountain country and the plain also captured a great deal of booty, since there were vast stores of it. (Judith 15, 7)
Never again during the lifetime of Judith, nor indeed for a long time after her death, did anyone trouble the Israelites. (Judith 16, 25)
