25And tooke their money that came to buy them, and pursued them farre: but lacking time, they returned. 26For it was the day before the Sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them. 27So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselues about the Sabbath, yeelding exceeding praise, & thanks to the Lord, who had preserued them vnto þe day, which was the beginning of mercy, distilling vpon them. 28And after the Sabbath, when they had giuen part of the spoiles to the maimed, and the widdowes, and Orphanes, the residue they diuided among themselues, and their seruants. 29When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the mercifull Lord to be reconciled with his seruants for euer.
