1. 1 Maccabees

   The First Book of Maccabees, also known as First Maccabees (written in shorthand as 1 Maccabees or 1 Macc.), is a book written in Hebrew by an anonymous Jewish author after the restoration of an independent Jewish kingdom by the Hasmonean dynasty around the late 2nd century BC. The original Hebrew is lost and the most important surviving version is the Greek translation contained in the Septuagint. The book is held as canonical scripture by the Catholic, Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches (except for the Orthodox Tewahedo), but not by Protestant denominations nor any major branches of Judaism; it is not part of the Hebrew Bible. Some Protestants consider it to be an apocryphal book (see also Deuterocanonical books). 1 Maccabees is best known for its account of an early victory in the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire: the recapture of Jerusalem in the year 164 BC and rededication of the Second Temple – the narrative behind the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

1. 1 maccabees

   1 Maccabees is a book of the Bible found in the Deuterocanonical section of the Old Testament in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. It is also included in the Jewish Apocrypha. The book serves as a historical record of events covering approximately a hundred years, from 175 to 134 BC, during the Maccabean Revolt against Seleucid Empire. It specifically narrates the victory of the Jews led by the Maccabee family against the oppression of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, and the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The book is named after Judas Maccabeus, one of the leaders of the revolt. However, it's not included in the canonical Hebrew Bible or the Protestant Bible.
