24And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor’s host, and so put all to flight;
25And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned:
26For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.
