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

2 Maccabees 2:14 In-Context

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 which had come upon us, and they are in our possession.

15 So if you have need of them, send people to get them for you.

16 Since, therefore, we are about to celebrate the purification, we write to you. Will you therefore please keep the days?
