Judith was a beautiful widow who was upset with her Jewish countrymen for not trusting God to deliver them
from their foreign conquerors. She went with her loyal maid to the camp of the enemy general Holofernes and
seduced him.
Having gained his trust, she was allowed access to his tent one night as he lied in a drunken stupor.
