Achior before Holofernes

The Assyrian warlord Holophernes is commanded by King Nabuchodonosor to reduce all places where the king is not adored as a god. When he hears that the Israelites are raising defenses, he becomes interested. General Achior of the Ammonites then tells him the history of the Jewish people, starting with Abraham and ending with the return from Babylonian exile (Diaspora). Achior warns Holophernes that the Jews are protected by their god and that he had better not attack them.

Judith as mediaeval cartoon (historical Bible):
The return of the delegation | Holophernes burns down a city | The altar is covered | Achior before Holophernes | Liberation of Achior | Shortage of water | Judith takes action | Head in the bag | Judith shows the head | Judith is praised | Holophernes on the wall
