Judith, 5

3. And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare:

Judite 5 tells the story of how the leaders of the Ammonitas called the rulers of other neighboring nations to unite and fight against Israel. They mentioned the history of the people of Israel, but presented distorted and misleading information to justify their position. Below are five verses related to topics covered in Judite 5:

Judges 5:8: "They chose new gods; then there was war on the doors, not a shield, no spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel." This verse highlights how Israel's idolatry and unfaithfulness to God led to its weakness and vulnerability before its enemies.

Judges 11:24: "Didn't you occupy you who whose God, did you disagree? And we have not all that the Lord our God designed before us?" This verse is similar to the message of Judith 5, where the Ammonites claim that the land of Israel originally belonged to them and not to the Israelites.

Exodus 23:32-33: "Thou shalt not make a covenant with them, nor with their gods. And they shall not dwell in thy land, that they may not sin against me; for if they serve their gods, they will surely be by loop." This verse emphasizes the importance of Israel not making alliances with idolatrous nations and not allowing them to dwell in their land.

Numbers 20:14-21: This excerpt describes how Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his land on his journey to Canaan. This event illustrates the hostility of neighboring nations in relation to Israel, which is mentioned in Judite 5.

Isaiah 36:18-20: This verse describes how the Assyrian king Senaqueribe tried to persuade the people of Jerusalem to surrender, mentioning as other countries and peoples were defeated by the Assyrian army. This is similar to the tactic used by the friendly leaders in Judite 5, where they present misleading arguments to justify their position against Israel.
