2 Maccabees 8:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ With the almighty as their ally, they slaughtered more than nine thousand of the enemy, wounding and disabling many of Nicanor’s army and driving them all to flight. ²⁵ They seized the funds of those who came to buy them. After pursuing them a long way, they returned while there was still time ²⁶ because it was the day before the Sabbath. For that reason they didn’t continue to pursue them.
