1 Maccabees 9:35-37
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
35 And Jonathan[a] sent his brother as leader of the multitude and begged the Nabate′ans, who were his friends, for permission to store with them the great amount of baggage which they had. 36 But the sons of Jambri from Me′deba came out and seized John and all that he had, and departed with it.
37 After these things it was reported to Jonathan and Simon his brother, “The sons of Jambri are celebrating a great wedding, and are conducting the bride, a daughter of one of the great nobles of Canaan, from Nad′abath[b] with a large escort.”
