Judith 2:13

In context

11But for those who defy you, let your eye show no pity: hand them over to slaughter and looting throughout all the land under your hand. 12By my own life, and by the might of my royal power — I have spoken, and my hand will carry it out. 13And you — do not step past one word of your lord. Do it, do it all, exactly as I have laid it on you, and do not put it off.” 14So Holofernes left his lord’s presence and called in every ruler, every general, and every overseer in the forces of Asshur. 15He counted out picked men for the battle line, as his lord had ordered him: a hundred and twenty thousand of them, and twelve thousand mounted archers.
