1 Maccabees 9:41

41 So the wedding turned into mourning, and the sound of their musicians into a funeral hymn.

1 Maccabees 9:41 In-Context

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.

41 So the wedding turned into mourning, and the sound of their musicians into a funeral hymn.

42 After they had fully avenged their brother's death, they returned to the marshes of the Jordan.

43 When Bacchides heard about this, he came with a large force to the banks of the Jordan on the Sabbath.
