Judith  is  the  18th  book  of  the  Bible  and  one  of  the  historical  books  in  the  Old  <Hj 

§     Testament.  The  overall  theme  is  the  power  of  prayer.  The  Israelites  are  a- 

besieged  by  the  forces  of  Holofernes  and  pray  to  God  to  overcome  the  forces. 

Judith  seduces  Holofernes  and  beheads  him  in  his  sleep,  when  the  forces  find 

§     their  leader  dead,  they  flee  in  battle.  The  Israelites  benefit  from  their  spoils  and 

Judith  sings  praises  to  God.  (Summary  by  Sean  McKinley)
