After this, word was brought
to Jonathan and his brother Simon: “The tribe of Jambri are celebrating
a great wedding, and with a large escort they are bringing the bride,
the daughter of one of the great princes of Canaan, from Nadabath.”
38Remembering the blood of John their brother, they went up and hid themselves under cover of the mountain.
39As they watched there
appeared a noisy throng with much baggage; then the bridegroom and his
friends and kinsmen had come out to meet them with tambourines and
musicians with their instruments.
40Jonathan and his party
rose up against them from their ambush and killed them. Many fell
wounded; the rest fled toward the mountain; all their spoils were taken.
41Thus the wedding was turned into mourning, and the sound of their music into lamentation.
