1So they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying, 2Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight. 3Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee. 4Behold, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy servants; come and deal with them as seemeth good unto thee. 5So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him after this manner.
6και κατεβη επι την παραλιαν αυτοϲ και η δυναμιϲ αυτου και εφρουρηϲεν ταϲ πολειϲ ταϲ ϋ>ψηλαϲ και ελαβεν εξ αυτων ειϲ ϲυμμαχιαν ανδραϲ επιλεκτουϲ 7και εδεξαντο αυτον αυτοι και παϲα η περιχωροϲ αυτηϲ μετα > ϲτεφανων και χορων και τυμπανω 8και κατεϲκαψεν > παντα τα ορια αυτων και τα αλϲη αυτων εξεκοψεν οτι ην δεδομενο αυτω εξολεθρευϲαι τουϲ φορουϲ τηϲ γηϲ οπωϲ αυτω τω ναβουχο>δονοϲορ λατρευϲωϲιν παντα τα εθνη και παϲαι αι φυλαι και αι γλωϲϲαι αυτων επικαλεϲονται αυτον ειϲ θεο 9και ηλθεν κατα προϲωπον εϲδηρλω πληϲιον τηϲ δωταιαϲ 10και κατεϲτρατοπαιδευϲαν ανα μεϲον γαιβαν και ϲκυθων πολεωϲ και ην εκει μηνα ημερων ειϲ το ϲυλλεξαι παϲαν την ϲτρατιαν τηϲ δυναμεωϲ αυτου
6Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid. 7So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels. 8Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god. 9Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea. 10And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.
