2 Maccabees 2:11 In-Context

9 "It was also declared that he, being wise, offered the sacrifice for dedication and for the finishing of the temple.

10 And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifices, even so prayed Solomon also, and the fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings.

11 And Moses said, `Because the sin offering was not to be eaten, it was consumed.'

12 So Solomon kept those eight days.

13 "The same things also were reported in the writings and commentaries of Nehemiah, and how he, founding a library, gathered together the acts of the kings and the prophets and of David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy gifts.
