Either First of Second Maccabees, I think -- one of the so-called "apocryphal" books of the Old Testament that are accepted as canonical by Roman Catholics, some Anglicans and (I think) the Orthodox, but are generally not accepted by Protestants (or, I think, Jews.) That's why some Protestants and Roman Catholics can get into a "it's-in-the-Bible" "no-it-ain't" match on this subject.
