The Apocrypha Assessment: Judith 7

Holofernes and his troops prepare to besiege Bethulia but the Edomites and Moabites have a better plan: cut off the folks in the town from their water supply and they will have to surrender. It is done and the inhabitants are indeed clamoring for their high priest to settle with the Assyrians. Uzziah the high priest asks for 5 more days to see if the Lord will act.
