1 Maccabees 9:35-37

Revised Standard Version

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 with a large escort.”
