The book of Judith appears in the Old Testament immediately after the book of Tobit. There are a bunch of characters in the book of Judith, beginning with King Nebuchadnezzr, the priest Joakim, the Assyrian General Holofernes, the Ammonite leader, Achior. Judith lives in the city of Bethulia whose leader was Uzziah. Judith is a widow and a great heroine in the history of Israel. She is seen as a type of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The country defeated by the actions of Judith was Assyria. Judith was a Jewish widow who saved her people by seducing and beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes, which led to the defeat of the Assyrian army.
The painting you are referring to, "Judith and Her Maidservant Holding the Head of Holofernes" was actually painted by Artemisia Gentileschi, not Caravaggio. Gentileschi was an avid follower of Caravaggio, known as a caravaggisti, and copied many of his techniques in her own work.
