Judith 2:10-18 World English Bible (WEB)

10. But you shall go forth, and take beforehand for me all their coasts; and if they shall yield themselves to you, then shall you reserve them for me till the day of their reproof.

11. But as for them that are disobedient, your eye shall not spare; but you shall give them up to be slain and to be spoiled in all your land.

12. For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, I have spoken, and I will do this with my hand.

13. And you, moreover, shall not transgress anything of the commandments of your lord, but you shall surely accomplish them, as I have commanded you, and you shall not defer to do them.

14. And Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and the captains and officers of the host of Asshur;

15. and he counted chosen men for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, to a hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;

16. and he ranged them, as a great multitude is ordered for the war.

17. And he took camels and asses and mules for their baggage, an exceeding great multitude; and sheep and oxen and goats without number for their provision;

18. and great store of victual for every man, and exceeding much gold and silver out of the king’s house.
