 Teacher of Righteousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1 Maccabees, no High Priest is named for the period from the death of Alcimus in 159 BCE to the claiming of the position of High Priest by Jonathan on the authority of Alexander Balas in 152 BCE (1 Macc 10:18-20).
From this it could be concluded that there was no High Priest for these years, and indeed Josephus, drawing heavily on I Maccabees at this point in his history, comes to that conclusion (Ant.

Herod (73-4 BCE) was the pro-Roman king of the small Jewish state in the last decades before the common era.

Herod Antipas was to rule Galilee and the east bank of the Jordan as a tetrarch; Philip was to be tetrarch of the Golan heights in the north-east; and Archelaus became the ethnarch ('national leader') of Samaria and Judaea.

 Freemasonry in Israel - Temples at Jerusalem

 Jubilees
It is then said in 1 Macc 1:42 that the Chasidim joined forces with Mattathias, possibly implying that it was some of their company that gave no resistance when attacked on the Sabbath and that they now agree that defending oneself on the Sabbath was not contrary to the Law after all.
If the Book of Jubilees was composed in the early Hasmonean period, no later than 152 BCE and possibly much earlier, its author could be described as a proto-Essene insofar as the text became influential in the later Essene movement.
