1 Maccabees 9:35-37

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁵ So Jonathan^[a] sent his brother as leader of the multitude and begged the Nabateans, who were his friends, for permission to store with them the great amount of baggage that they had.^{(A) 36} But the family of Jambri from Medeba came out and seized John and all that he had and left with it.

³⁷ After these things it was reported to Jonathan and his brother Simon, “The family of Jambri are celebrating a great wedding and are conducting the bride, a daughter of one of the great nobles of Canaan, from Nadabath with a large escort.”
