Ancient And Medieval Traitors - Back-Stabbers, Turncoats And Conspirators (True Crime) (2014)

Cover Ancient And Medieval Traitors - Back-Stabbers, Turncoats And Conspirators (True Crime)
The gospel of Judith was the fourth book of the Old Testament Apocrypha, a group of books not included in the Bible because they were written in Greek instead of the original Hebrew. Judith was clearly a very intelligent and shrewd woman, who really knew how to use her restricted abilities to fulfil the needs of her people.
    She originally acted as a traitor in order to convince the Assyrians that they could trust her and to gain control of the army by killing their chief commander. She was
...able to double-cross the highest authority in her enemy’s land by making him desire her and pretending to have changed allegiances. Scholars have argued about the dates of the Israelites’ success over the Assyrians but most agree that the action took place after the end of the Babylonian captivity in 538 BC.
    THE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL For many years there had been unrest in Israel as the nation had refused to join King Nebuchadnezzar’s forces in battle against Media.
