2 Maccabees 2:14 In-Context

12 Likewise, Solomon observed the eight days.

13 Nehemiah also narrated the same things in his writings and journals. He also told how, when Solomon established a library, he gathered the scrolls concerning the kings and prophets and the scrolls of David and letters of kings regarding offerings for solemn promises.

14 In the same way, Judas also gathered together all the scrolls that went missing because of the war, so that those documents are now in our possession.

15 So if you need them, send messengers to carry them back.

16 Now as we are about to celebrate the Purification Festival, we write to you. Act honorably by observing the days.
