Summary
Judith 14:8 - 14:14

14:8. The watchmen seeing this, ran to the tent of Holofernes.

14:9. They that were in the tent came, and made a noise, before the door of the chamber to awaken him, endeavoring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awaken, not by their calling him, but by their noise.

14:10. For no man dared knock, or open and go into the chamber of the general of the Assyrians.

14:11. But when his captains and tribunes had come, and all the chiefs of the army of the king of the Assyrians, they said to the chamberlains:

14:12. Go in, and awaken him, for the mice, coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight.

14:13. Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith.

14:14. But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, weltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments.
