2 Maccabees 8:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ Forsooth they gathered the armours of them, and (the) spoils, and did (the) sabbath, and blessed the Lord [or blessing the Lord], that delivered them in (or unto) this day, dropping into (or upon) them (the) beginning of mercy.

²⁸ Forsooth after the sabbath, they parted (the) spoils to the feeble folks, and fatherless, and motherless, and widows; and they with theirs had the residues.

²⁹ When these things were thus done, and commonly of (or by) all men beseeching was made, they asked the merciful Lord, for to be reconciled into the end to his servants.
