11 For 30 days, the Israelites carried off the wealth of the Assyrian camp. They gave Judith the tent of Holofernes and everything in it, including his silver dinnerware, his bowls, his couches, and the rest of his furniture. She loaded down her mule and filled her carts with these things.
12 All the women of Israel came to meet and sing praises to Judith; many of them also danced in her honor. Judith took leaf-covered branches and gave one to every woman who was there with her,
13 and they all wore wreaths of olive leaves on their heads. Judith led the women in joyful dancing, with the men following behind, waving their weapons in the air and wearing strings of flowers and singing songs of praise.
14 Judith began singing a song of praise to God, and the crowd joined in the singing.
