2 Maccabees 2:12

12 Likewise Solomon also kept the eight days.

2 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 Just as Moses prayed to the Lord, and fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifices, so also Solomon prayed, and the fire came down and consumed the whole burnt offerings.

11 And Moses said, "They were consumed because the sin offering had not been eaten."

12 Likewise Solomon also kept the eight days.

13 The same things are reported in the records and in the memoirs of Nehemiah, and also that he founded a library and collected the books about the kings and prophets, and the writings of David, and letters of kings about votive offerings.

14 In the same way Judas also collected all the books that had been lost on account of the war that had come upon us, and they are in our possession.
