Judith 15:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 15
General Disbandment.[a] 1 When the men who were still in their tents learned what had happened, they were thrown into confusion. 2 Overcome with fear and trembling, they made no effort to band together in unity, but with one accord they all rushed out and fled by every road across the plain and through the mountains. 3 Those who had been stationed in the hills around Bethulia also took to flight. Then all the Israelite soldiers rushed out in pursuit of them.
