3Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spoke to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
4So all went forth, and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the work of my hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
— Judith 13:5 —
6Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes’ head, and took down his falchion from thence,
7and approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.
