1And it was told Holofernes, the chief captain of the host of Asshur, that the children of Israel had prepared for war, and brought them low, See Ex. 1.14.making them to labour in brick, and made them slaves.
12And Ex. 2.23.they cried unto their God, and See Ex. ch. 7 — ch. 11 & 12.29,30.he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: See Ex. 12.31-33.and the Egyptians cast them out of their sight.
13Ex. 14.21,22.And God dried up the Red sea before them,
14And Ex. 19.1.brought them into the way of Sinai, and See Num. 13.26.Kadesh-Barnea, and they cast out all that dwelt in the wilderness.
15Num. 21.25.And they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they destroyed by their strength all them of Heshbon, and Josh. 3.16.passing over Jordan Josh. 10.40.they possessed all the hill country.
16Josh. 12.8.And they cast out before them the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Shechemite, and all the Girgashites, and they dwelt in that country many days.
17And whilst they sinned not before their God, they prospered, because God that hateth iniquity was with them.
18See Judg. 2.11-15 & 3.7,8.But when they departed from the way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and See 2 Kin. 25.8-11.were led captives into a land that was not theirs, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by their adversaries.
19And now they are returned to their God, and are ch. 4.3.come up from John 7.35.the dispersion where they were dispersed, and have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the hill country: for it was desolate.
20And now, my lord and master, if there is any error in this people, and they sin against their God, we will consider what this thing is wherein they stumble, and we will go up and overcome them.
21Cp. ch. 11.10 & Lev. 26.3,7.But if there is no lawlessness in their nation, let my lord now pass by, Cp. ch. 6.2.lest their Lord defend them, and their God be for them, and we shall be a reproach before all the earth.
22And it came to pass, when ver. 5.Achior had finished speaking these words, all the people that compassed the tent and stood round about it murmured; and the great men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt Cp. ver. 2.by the sea side, and in See ch. 1.12.Moab, spake that he should kill him.
23For, said they, we will not be afraid of the children of Israel: Cp. Neh. 4.2.for, lo, it is a people that hath no power nor might to make the battle strong.
24Wherefore now we will go up, and Cp. ch. 10.12.they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army, lord Holofernes.
