"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 46: 2 Machabees" is a deuterocanonical book written between 150 and 100 BC. This historical account recounts the persecution of Jews under King Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Maccabean Revolt led by Judas Maccabeus.

BC, culminating in the establishment of the Feast of Dedication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
