Judith 2:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Then, following the Euphrates, he went through Mesopotamia and destroyed all the fortified cities along the Wadi Abron until he reached the sea. ²⁵ He seized the territory of Cilicia and slaughtered everyone who offered him the slightest resistance. Then he proceeded to the southern borders of Japheth, facing Arabia. ²⁶ He encircled the Midianites, set fire to their tents, and pillaged their sheepfolds.
