1 Maccabees 9:38-40

Common English Bible

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. ⁴⁰ Then those who were with Jonathan ambushed them and began killing them. They wounded and killed many. The rest fled to the mountain, and the Jews took all their goods.
