⁸ No one spoke ill of her, for she feared God with great devotion.

Judith and the Elders

⁹ When Judith heard the harsh words spoken by the people against the ruler, because they were faint for lack of water, and when she heard all that Uzziah said to them, and how he promised them under oath to surrender the town to the Assyrians after five days, ¹⁰ she sent her maid, who was in charge of all she possessed, to summon Uzziah and^[a] Chabris and Charmis, the elders of her town.
