Geography

From the poem by Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
s related in the Book of Ju-
. dith. in the Apocrypha.
N when the children OF Israel
fortified the hill passages
by which an invading army
would be obliged to enter Judea.
Bethulia was the site Of one Of the
principal forts. The city was sub
Jected TO a long siege by an As
syrian army under Holofernes who
had command of the water and food
supplies of the city. He determined
tc create a famine and thus compel
submission. At this juncture, Ju-
dith. a devout widow of great beau
ty, was moved to offer herself as a
deliyerer Of her people. She dressed
herself in her finest raiment, with
many jewels and ornaments, and
went to the camp Of the Assyrians.
where her beauty obtained for her
an immediate interview with Holo-
fernes. This stern captain was un-
raptured with the Jewish beauty,
that she would deliver all Judea into
his hands. She played on his weak
ness until he invited her to an elabo-
rate entertainment in his quarters.
Here she succeeded in inducing him
TO dismiss all his servants. and when
he was overcome with wine she took
his sword and cut of his head. She
escaped back to Bethulia with the
head Of the dead general. arriving
inside the walls just as the inhabi-
tants were crying aloud for the city
to be surrendered. The men Of Be-
thulia were inspired by her to great
enthusiasm and courage. fell upon

complete defeat Of the invading
army. Great rejoicing in Rethulia,
