The Book of Judith, chapter 13
1: When evening came, his
slaves quickly withdrew, and Bagoas closed the tent from outside
and shut out the attendants from his master's presence; and they
went to bed, for they all were weary because the banquet had lasted

2: So Judith was left alone in the tent , with Holofernes stretched

said she would be going out for her prayers. And she had said
the same thing to Bagoas.
