1 Maccabees 9:36-38

Good News Translation

³⁶ But the Jambrites of Medeba attacked John, took him captive, and carried off all the baggage. ³⁷ Some time later Jonathan and his brother Simon learned that the Jambrites were about to celebrate an important wedding and that there would be a bridal procession from the town of Nadabath. The bride was the daughter of one of the great princes of Canaan. ³⁸ Jonathan and Simon had wanted revenge for the death of their brother John, so they and their men went up on one of the mountains and hid.
