Following the narration of a rescue from a hopeless situation the book of Judith ends with a hymnically fashioned song, which combines the gratitude for the rescue with a review on what occurred. Remarkably, this narratological important part of the narrative ends with a phrasing which not only differs from the characteristic style of the final speech but also cites the end of the book of Isaiah (66:24). This is the point of departure for the considerations. They are going to trace the meaning and literary function of this foreign imagery from Isaiah 66:24 in the narrative of Judith.
God as King is one of the metaphors that have been handed down in the biblical literature for centuries. In the Hellenistic period talk about God as king again undergoes a change that is the conse-quence of the Hellenistic kingdom as it evolved in its specific form after the death of Alexander. The conceptual implications of the Hellenistic kingdom for talk about God is shown by reference to the epithets: the king as ἐπιφανής (»Epiphanes«), as σωτήρ (»Savior«), as εὐεργέτης (»benefactor«) and as κτίστης (»Founder«). How those epithets have affected talk of God as king is demonstrated by reference to the original Greek writings of the LXX and connected with the question of God as παντοκράτωρ (»pantocrator«).

Die Juditerzählung und das Danielbuch sind – auf den ersten Blick – so unterschiedliche Schriften, dass eine Beziehung zwischen ihnen anzunehmen wenig plausibel erscheint: auf der einen Seite die Juditerzählung, eine "sex and crime"-Geschichte, die schillernd und ambivalent die Geschichte der Bedrohung und Rettung Israels durch die schöne Judit mit einem Happy End erzählt; auf der anderen Seite eine gewachsene, mehrsprachige, apokalyptische Schrift mit brutalen Ermordungsversuchen, wundersamen Rettungen und verstörenden Visionsschilderungen.
