“And when this saying pleased them all, Nabuchodonosor, the king, called Holofernes the general of his armies,”
On this verse:
“Armies. Greek adds, “and the second after himself,” in the kingdom. (Menochius) — Casaubon suspects that this drunkard was the king mentioned in history, as having lost the kingdom of Cappadocia, by attempting to introduce the dissolute feasts of Bacchus. (Polyb. xxxii. ap. Athen. x. 11.) — He made his attack first upon this country, ver. 13.”
