Holofernes was bewitched by her and he drank a great quantity of wine, much more than he had ever drunk on any single day since his birth. (Judith 12, 20)
When it was late, the servants hurried away. Bagoas dismissed from the presence of his master those who were standing around, and closed the tent from the outside. All the men hurried to bed for they were tired from having drunk too much. (Judith 13, 1)
So Judith was left alone in the tent with Holofernes who, sodden with wine, had collapsed onto the bed. (Judith 13, 2)
Everyone left the tent of Holofernes, not one - small or great - remained in the room. Judith, then, stood by Holofernes' bed and prayed in her heart, "Lord God all-powerful, help me now in what I will do for the glory of Jerusalem. (Judith 13, 4)
For now is the time to support the cause of your people and to ensure that my undertaking brings about the ruin of the enemies who are drawn up against us." (Judith 13, 5)
Then she moved towards the bedpost near Holofernes' head and took down the sword and, (Judith 13, 6)
She then rolled his body from the bed and took off the hangings from the columns. Then she went out at once and gave the head of Holofernes to her servant (Judith 13, 9)
who put it in the bag in which she carried the food. Then they went out together as they used to do for prayer. After they had crossed the camp, they passed round the edge of the ravine, climbed the mountain to Bethulia and reached the gates of the town. (Judith 13, 10)
Judith called from a distance to those who were keeping guard at the gates, "Open, open the gates! God, our God, is with us! Today he has once again worked a miracle in Israel and exerted his power against our enemies." (Judith 13, 11)
As soon as the townsfolk heard her voice, they called the elders and hurried down to the gates of the town. (Judith 13, 12)
They all ran together, from the smallest to the greatest, for they were waiting for her return. They opened the gates and welcomed the two women; then, having lighted a fire so as to see them, they gathered around the two. (Judith 13, 13)
She said to them in a loud voice, "Praise God, praise him! Praise God who has not withheld his mercy from the House of Israel. This very night he has crushed our enemies by my hand." (Judith 13, 14)
