Judith 7:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 They encamped at the spring in the valley near Bethulia, and spread crosswise toward Dothan as far as Balbaim, and lengthwise from Bethulia to Cyamon, which faces Esdraelon.
4 When the Israelites saw how many there were, they were greatly distressed and said to one another, “Soon they will strip the whole land bare. Neither the high mountains nor the valleys nor the hills will bear their weight.” 5 Yet they all seized their weapons, lighted fires on their towers, and kept watch throughout the night.(A)
