2 Maccabees 8:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly.

²⁵ And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side.

²⁶ But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit.
