Judith 9:3
Good News Translation
That is why you let their leaders be killed--put to death on the same bed where they had raped the woman. You destroyed them all, slaves, princes, and rulers on their thrones.

New Revised Standard Version
so you gave up their rulers to be killed, and their bed, which was ashamed of the deceit they had practiced, was stained with blood, and you struck down slaves along with princes, and princes on their thrones.

Contemporary English Version
That's why you let their rulers be killed in the very bed where they raped Dinah. All the officials of those foreigners were destroyed, and even their servants.

New American Bible
Therefore you handed over their rulers to slaughter; and you handed over to bloodshed the bed in which they lay deceived, the same bed that had felt the shame of their own deceiving. You struck down the slaves together with their masters, and the masters upon their thrones.

Douay-Rheims Bible
