2 Maccabees 8:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ for why it was before (the) sabbath, for which cause they lasted not (in) pursuing (them).

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.
