George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 16:28

“And she abode in her husband’s house a hundred and five years, and made her handmaid free, and she died, and was buried with her husband in Bethulia.”

“Five. Suidas alone reads, “fifty.” Some would suppose that Judith lived 105 years after her husband’s death; so that she might have been in all 125 years old. But she would thus have survived the siege of Jerusalem under Nabuchodonosor; (Calmet) and the text does not require this sense. (Haydock) See Exodus xii. 40. (Tirinus) — Free; as she had been her assistant in such a glorious work. (Menochius) — Died. Greek adds, “in Bethulia; and they buried her in the cave of her husband, Manasses.” See chap. viii. 3.”
