“And Joachim the high priest came from Jerusalem to Bethulia with all his ancients to see Judith.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900

A.D.
George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Came. Greek adds, “and the senate of Israel, residing at Jerusalem, came.” This alludes to the sanhedrim. (Grotius) — But, it seems, its institution was posterior to the captivity, and we may understand the principal men of the city, or of the priests. (Calmet) — To see. Greek adds, “the good things (Complutensian; to confirm or lay a foundation for, the good things) which God had done to Israel, and to see Judith, and speak peace with her.” Protestants, “to salute her.” (Haydock) — Joachim is the same with Eliacim; El being only prefixed. (Tirinus) — He is the Sadoc II or Odeas of Josephus; (Reinec.) and succeeded Sobna both in spiritual and temporal power, Isaias xxii. (Bellarmine)”

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
