Juʹdith

.

The Jewish heroine of Bethuʹlia, who perilled her life in the tent of Holofernēs, the general of Nebuchadnezzar, in order to save her native town. The bold adventurer cut off the head of the Assyrian, and her townsmen, rushing on the invaders, defeated them with great slaughter. (The Book of Judith.)
