Book Description:
"Un roi d'Assyrie, enorgueilli par la conquête de la Médie, entreprend de soumettre à sa domination toute l'Asie occidentale. Son général en chef, Holoferne se prépare à envahir la Palestine par le nord. Alors le grand prêtre Éliachim organise promptement la défense du pays, sans oublier la pénitence et la prière, par lesquelles les Juifs espéraient toucher le coeur du Seigneur et s'attirer sa protection. Le conquérant victorieux est arrêté dans sa marche par la résistance de la ville de Béthulie; il la cerne de toutes parts, pour l'empêcher de se ravitailler et de recevoir des secours. Les habitants, réduits à la dernière extrémité, prennent la douloureuse résolution de se rendre à merci; mais Judith se rend dans le camp des Assyriens, et en revient bientôt, apportant comme trophée la tête sanglante d'Holoferne."
