Judith 3:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Then he came down from the mountains with horsemen, in great power, and made himself master of every city, and all the inhabitants of the land.

⁸ And from all the cities he took auxiliaries valiant men, and chosen for war.

⁹ And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming.
