7. And my servants shall bring you back into the hill country, and shall set you in one of the cities of the ascents:
8. and you shall not perish, till you be destroyed with them.
9. And if you hope in your heart that they shall not be taken, let not your countenance fall. I have spoken it, and none of my words shall fall to the ground.
10. And Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him back to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
11. And his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they removed from the midst of the plain country into the hill country, and came to the fountains that were under Bethulia.
12. And when the men of the city saw them on the top of the hill, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city against them to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up, and cast stones against them.
13. And they got them privily under the hill, and bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of the hill, and went away to their lord.
14. But the children of Israel descended from their city, and came upon him, and loosed him, and led him away into Bethulia, and presented him to the rulers of their city;
15. which were in those days Ozias the son of Micah, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.
