Judith
Deuterocanon · 5 sections · scripture: World English Bible
Judith is a story, and it tells you so in its first sentence. In the twelfth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, who reigned over the Assyrians in Nineveh — and any reader who knew the history of the period would recognize that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon, not Assyria, and that Nineveh had been destroyed before he came to the throne.
