Jdt 15:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And Ozias sent messengers through all the cities and countries of Israel.”
On this verse:
“Israel. Greek adds, “informing them of what had been accomplished, and that all might pour upon the enemies, to cut them off. But when the Israelites heard this, they all, unanimously, fell upon them, as far as Chobai: (Haydock; Hoba.; Calmet) in like manner those from Jerusalem came up, and from all the mountainous country; for they also were informed of what had happened in the camp of their enemies; and the men of Galaad and of Galilee scattered them with great slaughter, till they had passed Damascus and its boundaries.” (Haydock) — As the enemy fled without a leader, we may easily imagine what carnage would ensue. (Calmet)”
