Good News Translation

²⁴ Then Holofernes crossed the Euphrates River and marched through the land of Mesopotamia, completely destroying all the walled towns along the Abron River as far as the sea. ²⁵ He seized the territory of Cilicia, killing everyone who resisted him, and went as far as the southern borders of the land of Japheth, near Arabia. ²⁶ He surrounded the Midianites, burned down their tents, and slaughtered their sheep.
