10 When Achior saw all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God wholeheartedly. So he was circumcised and joined the house of Israel, remaining until this day.
11 At dawn they hung Holofernes’ head on the wall, and all the men took up their weapons and went out in groups to the mountain passes.
12 When the Assyrians saw them, they sent word to their leaders, who went to the captains, the commanders, and all the other officers.
13 They came to Holofernes’ tent and said to the one who looked after his property, "Wake up our master, for the slaves have become so bold as to come down to make war with us—only to be completely destroyed."
14 Then Bagoas went in and knocked at the entrance to the tent, for he assumed that Holofernes was sleeping with Judith.
15 But when there was no answer, he entered the bedroom and found him sprawled on the floor, dead, with his head missing.
16 He cried out with a loud voice, weeping, groaning, and shouting, and he tore his clothes.
