Judith 2:21–27

²¹And they went forth of Nineve three days’ journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper ^pCilicia. ²²Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horsemen, and chariots, and went from thence into the hill country; ²³and destroyed ^qPhud and ^qLud, and spoiled all the children of Rasses, and ^rthe children of Ismael, which were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the ^sChellians. ²⁴Then he went over Euphrates, and went through ^tMesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were upon the river Arbonai, till you come to the sea. ²⁵And he took the borders of ^pCilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to ^uthe borders of Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia. ²⁶He compassed also all the children of ^vMadian, and burnt up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheepcotes. ²⁷Then he went down into the plain of ^wDamascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and ^xutterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with ^ythe edge of the sword.
