2 And he called all the native leaders, and all the commanders, and his officers of war, and he met with them in his secret council.
3 And he said to them that his thoughts were to subjugate all the earth to his authority.
4 And when this saying pleased them all, king Nebuchadnezzar called Holofernes, the leader of his military.
5 And he said to him: 'Go out against all the kingdoms of the west, and against those in particular who showed contempt for my authority.
6 Your eye must not spare any kingdom, and all the fortified cities you will subjugate to me.'
