The Holy Bible says, at Genesis 26:34, that 'Judith' was the wife of Esau, the daughter of 'Beeri the Hittite' and a source of 'bitterness of spirit' for Isaac and Rebekah.

Meanwhile, the "Apocryphal books", which most scholars feel are not part of the Bible, and are not inspired by God, contain the story of a 'Judith', who was supposed to be a beautiful widow who pretended to be a traitor to the Jews, gained the trust of Babylon, and killed Nebuchadnezzar's army officer, Holofernes, by beheading him.
