Y le enviaron mensajeros con palabras de paz, diciendo: «Mira, nosotros los siervos de Nabucodonosor el gran rey yacemos ante ti. Úsanos como sea grato a tus ojos. Mira, nuestras moradas, y todo nuestro país, y todos nuestros campos de trigo, y nuestros rebaños y manadas, y todos los rediles de nuestras tiendas, yacen ante tu rostro. Úsalos como te plazca. Mira, incluso nuestras ciudades y los que habitan en ellas son tus siervos. Ven y trata con ellos como te parezca bien». Así que los hombres llegaron a Holofernes, y le declararon conforme a estas palabras. Él descendió hacia la costa del mar, él y su ejército, y puso guarniciones en las ciudades altas, y sacó de ellas hombres escogidos como aliados. Lo recibieron, ellos y toda la región circundante, con guirnaldas, danzas y panderos. Él derribó todas sus fronteras, y taló sus arboledas sagradas. Le había sido concedido destruir a todos los dioses de la tierra, para que todas las naciones adoraran únicamente a Nabucodonosor, y para que todas sus lenguas y sus tribus lo invocaran como a un dios. Luego se dirigió hacia Esdraelón cerca de Dotaea, que está frente a la gran cordillera de Judea. Acampó entre Geba y Escitópolis. Estuvo allí un mes entero, para reunir todo el equipaje de su ejército.

Notas en inglés Comentario católico del siglo XIX del P. George Leo Haydock, tal como se publicó.

Estas notas conservan las polémicas de su época: algunas hablan con dureza del pueblo judío o de otros cristianos. La Iglesia enseña hoy otra cosa. No se puede culpar al pueblo judío de la muerte de Cristo (Nostra Aetate 4; Catecismo 597–598), y los cristianos de otras comunidades son nuestros hermanos en el Señor (Unitatis Redintegratio 3). Unidad de los cristianos

Judit 3:1

Ver. 1. Kings. Gr. "they sent to him ambassadors, with proposals for peace, saying: Behold we, the servants of Nabuchodonosor, the great king, lay before thee; use us as thou thinkest best," &c.

These proposals were made by those on the sea-coast, from Sidon and Tyre to Ascalon, from whom Holofernes took "the choicest men," being received with honour, v. 10. H. --- Syria, &c.

These are not specified in the Greek. --- Sobal, or Soba, (1 K. xiv. 47.) near Damascus, where Ptolemy (v.) places Samoulis. --- Lybia seems too remote, and had not been attacked: some therefore would read Lycia, or Lygia, (Herod.

vii. 72.) or rather Lydia, (C.) which Holofernes had

"cut in pieces," according to the Greek. C. ii. 13. H.

Judit 3:2

Ver. 2. Great. This was his usual title. Dan. ii. 30. 4 K. xviii. 19. C. --- Slavery. Yet they make an unconditional submission. H. --- It is better for us to submit to servitude than to be slaughtered like our brethren. M.

Judit 3:13

Esta nota del siglo XIX usa un lenguaje polémico; léela a la luz de la nota que hay al principio de este panel.

Ver. 13. Called. Gr. "Worshipped by all nations, and that all their tongues and tribes might call him god." H. --- Behold to what lengths ambition may be carried. If he had only claimed a place among the other pagan deities, his title was as good as theirs. C. --- He is a figure of Antichrist; for whom all heretics pave the way. 2 Thes. ii. W.

Judit 3:14

Ver. 14. Apamea, on the river Orontes, between which and the river Eleutherus, lay the Mesopotamia here mentioned. --- Idumeans, or to "Rama," near Gabaa, which was on the north of Jerusalem; whereas Idumea lay far to the south. C.

--- Yet (H.) Gabaa may designate a mountainous country, as 1 K. vii. 1. (M.) and there is no reason why Idumea might not have felt the power of Holofernes, as well as Madian, &c. H. --- The order of conquests in not observed, (M.) for while the commander-in-chief was in one place, his generals were dispersed into different parts. He had now advanced as far as Gabaa of Saul, (H.) when meditating a serious attack upon Egypt, he thought proper to concentrate his forces; little expecting to meet with such a check at Bethulia. C. --- Gr. "He came to Esdrelon, near Dotaia, (or Dothaim, north of Sichem) which is opposite the great saw of Judea," or the range of mountains of Ephraim. C. ---

Old Vulg.

"of Juda," dividing it from Idumea. The kings of Israel had fortified the defiles.

3 K. xv. 17.

Judit 3:15

Ver. 15. Took. Gr. "encamped between Gaba and Scythopolis, (Bethsan. Jos.

xvii. 11.) and he was there a month of days, to collect all the burden of his army."
