Iudith, chapter 3 in the Vulgate version.

There is no KJV of Judith, but it does appear in the Apocrypha, as shown below.

Chapter 3

Vulgate


   1 Et miserunt ad eum legatos verbis pacificis dicentes:
   2" Ecce nos pueri Nabuchodonosor regis magni adstamus coram te; utere nobis, quemadmodum placet faciei tuae.
   3 Ecce villae nostrae et omnis locus noster et omnis campus frumenti et greges et armenta et omnia stabula iumentorum nostrorum adstant ante faciem tuam; utere, quemadmodum placet tibi.
   4 Ecce et civitates nostrae et, qui inhabitant in eis, servi tui sunt; veniens occurre eis, sicut est bonum in oculis tuis".
   5 Et venerunt viri ad Holofernen et nuntiaverunt ei secundum verba haec.
   6 Et descendit ad maritimam ipse et virtus eius et custodivit civitates excelsas et accepit ex eis in auxilium viros electos.
   7 Et exceperunt eum ipsi et omnis circumregio eorum cum coronis et choris et tympanis.
   8 Et destruxit omnes fines eorum et lucos eorum excidit, et datum ei erat omnes deos terrae exterminare, ut ipsi soli Nabuchodonosor servirent omnes gentes, et omnes linguae et omnes tribus eorum invocarent eum deum.
   9 Et venit contra faciem Esdrelon prope Dothain, quae est contra descensum magnum Iudaeae,
   10 et castra posuerunt inter Gabaa et Scytharum civitatem. Et erat ibi mensem dierum, ut colligeret omnia utensilia virtutis suae.

Apocrypha


   1 So they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying,
   2 Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight.
   3 Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee.
   4 Behold, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy servants; come and deal with them as seemeth good unto thee.
   5 So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him after this manner.
   6 Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.
   7 So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels.
   8 Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.
   9 Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.
   10 And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.
