Judith
chapter 1
1
Now
Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he
built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana,
2 Of stones squared and hewed: he made the walls
thereof seventy cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, and the towers thereof he
made a hundred cubits high. But on the square of them, each side was extended
the space of twenty feet.
3 And he made the gates thereof according to the height
of the towers:
4 And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his
army and in the glory of his chariots.
5 Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor
king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against
Arphaxad and overcame him,
6 In the great plain which is called Ragua, about the
Euphrates, and the Tigris, and the Jadason, in the plain of Erioch the king of
the Elicians.
7 Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and
his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus,
and Libanus,
8 And to the nations that are in Carmelus, and Cedar,
and to the inhabitants of Galilee in the great plain of Asdrelon,
9 And to all that were in Samaria, and beyond the river
Jordan even to Jerusalem, and all the land of Jesse till you come to the
borders of Ethiopia.
10 To all these Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians,
sent messengers:
11 But they all with one mind refused, and sent them
back empty, and rejected them without honour.
12 Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all
that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all
those countries.
