1 Maccabees 9:35-37

Common English Bible

³⁵ Jonathan sent his brother John, as leader of a large contingent, to beg his friends the Nabateans for permission to store with them the large amount of baggage that they had. ³⁶ But the family of Jambri from Medeba came out and captured John and everything he had. And they left with it.

³⁷ After this Jonathan and his brother Simon were told, “The family of Jambri is celebrating a great wedding. They are bringing the bride, a daughter of one of the great officials of Canaan, from Nadabath with a large escort.”
