15 So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofer´nes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.
16 Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofer´nes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.
17 Then said Holofer´nes unto her, Drink now, and be merry with us.
18 So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.
19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.
20 And Holofer´nes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.
