Judith 13:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ She went up to the post at the end of the bed, above Holofer′nes’ head, and took down his sword that hung there. ⁷ She came close to his bed and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, “Give me strength this day, O Lord God of Israel!” ⁸ And she struck his neck twice with all her might, and severed his head from his body.
