This is an interesting book in itself.
Part of the Catholic Bible but not the protestant Bibles or the Jewish Torah.
The ancient Jews who decided what books would be included in the Torah decided it and others in the Catholic Apocrypha where written too late.
There are many reasons that our canon(izers) in Judaism did not include, one being that it would be a blatant signal to the then-ruling Romans that the Jews were itchin’ to revolt (as they did against the Assyrian Greeks) and religiously, because the Hasmoneans, a priestly class (Kohain class, sub-segment of the tribe of Levi,) took over the kingship after the successful revolt. A Kohain/Levite could not be the king. They are a bitter-sweet story after the revolt. Mostly bitter the way the Jewish leadership evolved under Greco-Roman rule.
Not currently, but it is included, along with the rest of the Apocrypha, in my (reprint) copy of the 1611 King James. The Apocrypha was also included in several other early Protestant Bibles. Good supplemental reading for the most part, though not Canonical.
Goodspeed's Apocrypha is a good edition, if anyone feels the urge to read these excluded books.
