Judith 7:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ They encamped in the valley near Bethulia, beside the spring, and they spread out in breadth over Dothan as far as Balbaim and in length from Bethulia to Cyamon, which faces Esdraelon.^(A)

⁴ When the Israelites saw their vast numbers, they were greatly terrified and said to one another, “They will now strip clean the whole land; neither the high mountains nor the valleys nor the hills will bear their weight.”^{(B) 5} Yet they all seized their weapons, and when they had kindled fires on their towers, they remained on guard all that night.
