Judith Beheads Halafarines

Judith said, Who am I to refuse my Lord? Surely whatever pleases him I will do at once. Halafarines was greatly pleased with her and drank a great quantity of wine much more than he had ever drunk in any one day since he was born. She struck his neck twice with all her might and severed his head from his body. Then she tumbled his body off the bed and pulled down the canopy from the posts. And Uzziah said to Judith, Oh daughter, you are blessed by the most high God, above all women on earth.
