1 Maccabees 9:37-39

Common English Bible

³⁷ After this Jonathan and his brother Simon were told, “The family of Jambri is celebrating a great wedding. They are bringing the bride, a daughter of one of the great officials of Canaan, from Nadabath with a large escort.” ³⁸ Remembering how their brother John had been killed, they went out and hid under cover of the mountain. ³⁹ They looked out and saw a rowdy procession with a large amount of baggage. The bridegroom came out with his friends and his brothers to meet them with tambourines, musicians, and many weapons.
