Judith 1:13-16

Common English Bible

¹³ In the seventeenth year of his rule he marched his armies against King Arphaxad and defeated him in battle. He overpowered all of Arphaxad’s armies, all of his cavalry, and all of his chariots. ¹⁴ He gained control of Arphaxad’s cities, marched as far as Ecbatana, captured its towers, looted the marketplace, and turned its glory into disgrace. ¹⁵ He captured Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau and stabbed him with spears, putting an end to him forever. ¹⁶ Then he returned to Nineveh with all of his combined forces, a very large group of fighting men, where he and his army rested and feasted for one hundred twenty days.
