Judite 3 describes the preparation of Holofernes's Assyrian Army to invade various nations, including Judah. The chapter also mentions the oppression of the Israelites by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Assyria. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Judite 3:

Daniel 1:2: "The Lord delivered into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Judah, some of the utensils of the temple of God. He took them to the earth of Sinar, to the temple of his gods, and placed the utensils in the treasure of his God." This verse mentions the oppression of the Israelites by Nebuchadnezzar, which is a theme in Judite 3.

2 Kings 17:5-6: "The King of Assyria invaded the whole earth and surrounded Samaria. For three years he sought it, and in the ninth year of the reign of Oseiah, the king of Assyria took Samaria and took the people of Israel to Exile in Assyria. He placed them in Hala, Habor, the Gozã River and in the cities of fears. " This verse describes the invasion of Assyria in Israel, which is similar to the planned invasion of Judite 3.

Isaiah 10:5-7: "Woe to Assyria, the rod of my wrath, in whose hands is the stick of my punishment! , to blink it as if the mud of the streets. " This verse describes God using Assyria as an instrument of punishment against wicked nations, which can be seen in Judith 3.

2 Chronicles 36:15-16: "The Lord, the God of his ancestors, sent them constantly messengers, for he had compassion for his people and his home. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised their words and moiled From his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord against his people became so great that there was no remedy. " This verse describes how the people of Israel deviated from God and mocked their prophets, which may have contributed to the oppression of the Israelites by Nebuchadnezzar.

2 Chronicles 33:11-13: "Therefore, the Lord brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who arrested Manasseh, tied him with chains and took him to Babylon. In his anguish, he sought the favor of Lord, His God, and humid Himself deeply before the God of His ancestors. And when he prayed to Him, the Lord heard him and answered his supplication, bringing him back to Jerusalem and his kingdom.
