Jdt 3:9
King James Version
“Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.”
Context
6Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.
7So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels.
8Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.
9Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.
10And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.
