2 Maccabees 8:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them.

²⁸ Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows: and the rest they took for themselves and their servants.

²⁹ When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled to his servants unto the end.
