Short Description
"In the deuterocanonical Book of Judith, Holofernes (Greek: Ὀλοφέρνης; Hebrew הולופרנס) is an Assyrian invading general dispatched by Nebuchadnezzar to take vengeance on the nations of the West who withheld assistance to his reign. Holofernes occupied all the countries along the sea coast and destroyed all their gods, so that they would worship Nebuchadnezzar alone. Holofernes was warned against attacking the Jewish people by Achior, the leader of the children of Ammon, which angered him and his followers; they rebuked him, insisting that there was no god other than Nebuchadnezzar." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
