The Israelites pour out in pursuit of the fleeing Assyrians. The soldiers are struck with fear. The impossible has happened. If their invincible general has been killed, what hope is there for them? No one can control their stampede, organise them and make them turn and fight. The Israelites make merry with the slaughter and looting, and the Assyrians concentrate on making themselves scarce.
Judith is feted by the leaders from Jerusalem, and leads the people in their celebrations of praise to God.
