1 Maccabees 9:36-38

Revised Standard Version

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.” ³⁸ And they remembered the blood of John their brother, and went up and hid under cover of the mountain.
