In context
19Judith dedicated all the gear of Holofernes that the people gave her, and the canopy she had taken for herself out of his bedchamber she handed over as an offering to God. 20The people went on rejoicing in Jerusalem in front of the holy place for three months, and Judith stayed on with them. 21After those days each of them went back to his own inheritance. Judith went off to Bethulia and stayed on her own estate, and in her lifetime she became famous throughout the whole land. 22Many desired her, but no man knew her for the whole of her life, from the day her husband Manasseh died and joined his people. 23She went on growing ever greater, and in her husband’s house she came to old age — a hundred and five years. She set her maid free. In Bethulia she died, and she was laid in the cave of Manasseh her husband.
