Holofernes is dead. There is the small matter of the rest of the army, though. Even without a general they should be able to organise themselves sufficiently to defeat a small Israelite town.
Judith’s advice is that they needn’t worry. The army will panic.
To add weight to how amazing this deed has been, Achior is brought in to identify Holofernes. He faints with amazement. He is so convinced that this is God’s work that he becomes a believer, he is circumcised, and his family remained part of Israel on into the future.
God will prevail. No one has any doubt.
Sure enough, panic begins to spread in the enemy camp.
