	JewishEncyclopedia.com - HYRCANUS, JOHN (JOHANAN) I.:
		Hyrcanus, therefore, raised the siege after several months, although his mother bore the tortures with heroic determination, and encouraged him to punish the murderer.
		In this Hyrcanus allowed his zeal for the Jewish cause to lead him to take a step which later wrought harm; for to the Edomites belonged the family of the Herodians, who were to bring about the ruin of the Hasmoneans.
		Hyrcanus, who was a pupil of the Pharisees, remained long the faithful adherent of the latter, although he had friends also among the Sadducees.

	Hyrcanus - LoveToKnow 1911
		John Hyrcanus I., high priest of the Jews from 135 to 105 B.C., was the youngest son of Simon Maccabaeus.
		The external policy of Hyrcanus was marked by considerable energy and tact, and, aided as it was by favouring circumstances, was so successful as to leave the Jewish nation in a position of independence and of influence such as it had not known since the days of Solomon.
		John Hyrcanus Ii., high priest from 78 to 40 B.C., was the eldest son of Alexander Jannaeus by his wife Alexandra, and was thus a grandson of the preceding.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - HYRCANUS II.:
		Hyrcanus took refuge in the citadel of Jerusalem; but the capture of the Temple by Aristobulus compelled Hyrcanus to surrender.
		Indeed, Hyrcanus' incapacity and weakness were so manifest that, while he was defending Herod (whom he had previously saved from the hands of the Sanhedrin) before Mark Antony, the latter stripped him of his nominal political authority and of his title of ethnarch, and bestowed them upon the accused.
		By the help of the Parthians, Antigonus was proclaimed king and high priest, and Hyrcanus was seized and carried to Babylonia, after being made permanently ineligible for the office of high priest by the loss of his ears.

		Hyrcanus heard of this his management, but took no care about it; nay, he rather was very glad of it.
		Hyrcanus was so moved by these complaints, that he summoned Herod to come to his trial for what was charged upon him.
		But when Hyrcanus saw that the members of the Sanhedrim were ready to pronounce the sentence of death upon Herod, he put off the trial to another day, and sent privately to Herod, and advised him to fly out of the city, for that by this means he might escape.

		But there was a certain friend of Hyrcanus, an Idumean, called Antipater, who was very rich, and in his nature an active and a seditious man; who was at enmity with Aristobulus, and had differences with him on account of his good- will to Hyrcanus.
		Hyrcanus gave no credit to these words of his, as being of a gentle disposition, and one that did not easily admit of calumnies against other men.
		However, Hyrcanus sent Antipater first to the king of Arabia, in order to receive assurances from him, that when he should come in the manner of a supplicant to him, he would not deliver him up to his enemies.

		He also gave Hyrcanus leave to raise up the walls of his own city, upon his asking that favor of him, for they had been demolished by Pompey.

	From Hyrcanus to Salome Alexandra
		After (John) Hyrcanus' peaceful death in 104 BCE, Aristobolus the son of (John) Hyrcanus usurped control of both the High Priesthood and the kingship.
		At this time, (John) Hyrcanus breaks his allegiance with the Pharisees; the breaking point comes when the Pharisee Eleazar tells (John) Hyrcanus that he should resign as High Priest because his mother was taken captive during the time of Antiochus IV.
		In response to the complaints of Hyrcanus and the elders of the Jews (probably Pharisees), (Salome) Alexandra detains the wife and children of Aristobolus II in the Baris, the fortress adjacent the Temple.

		The feeble and spiritless* character of Hyrcanus was still more strongly displayed shortly after, when he acquiesced first in the assassination of Antipater, who was poisoned by Malichus, and again in the vengeance exacted for his death by Herod, who caused Malichus to be assassinated almost before the eyes of Hyrcanus.
		Neither Hyrcanus nor the sons of Antipater were able to oppose the force sent by the Parthian prince against Jerusalem, and they took refuge in the fortress of Baris, from whence Hyrcanus and Phasael were soon after decoyed under pretence of negotiation, and made prisoners by the faithless barbarians.
		Hyrcanus had his ears cut off, by order of Aris tobulus, in order for ever to incapacitate him from resuming the high-priesthood, and was then sent a prisoner to Seleuceia, on the Tigris.

	Hyrcanus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hyrcanus took refuge in the citadel of Jerusalem; but the capture of the Temple by Aristobulus II compelled Hyrcanus to surrender.
		During the siege, which lasted several months, the adherents of Hyrcanus were guilty of two acts which greatly incensed the majority of the Jews: they stoned the pious Onias (see Honi ha-Magel), and, instead of a lamb which the besieged had bought of the besiegers for the purpose of the paschal sacrifice, sent a pig.
		Indeed, Hyrcanus' incapacity and weakness were so manifest that, while he was defending Herod (whom he had previously saved from the hands of the Sanhedrin) before Mark Antony, the latter stripped him of his nominal political authority and of his title of ethnarch, and bestowed them upon the accused.

	Hyrcanus II
		He was deposed [40 CE] by Aristobulus' son, Antigonus, who had him castrated (which under Mosaic law disqualified him from acting as priest) to preclude his restoration to the high-priesthood.
		Antipater's son, Herod, avenged Hyrcanus and was rewarded by engagement to the ex-high priest's granddaughter, Mariamne.
		Though nominally the chief Jewish official, Hyrcanus was always dominated by others: first his mother, then Antipater and finally his grandson-in-law, Herod, who ultimately had him executed on charges of treason, so that there would be no male Hasmoneans left for the new emperor Augustus to make ruler of the Jews in his stead.

		Hyrcanus sent also one of these ambassadors to Dolabella, who was then the prefect of Asia, and desired him to dismiss the Jews from military services, and to preserve to them the customs of their forefathers, and to permit them to live according to them.
		Hyrcanus complied; and, for a pretense of excluding him, alleged, that a rout of strangers ought not to be admitted when the multitude were purifying themselves.

	Political Seting
		A serious breech occurred between Hyrcanus and the Pharisees, a group of law-observing Jews, who until this time were closely aligned with the Hasmoneans, because the Pharisees disapproved of the Hasmoneans' drive for worldly power, and felt the office of high priest was ambitions.
		Hyrcanus died in 104 and was succeeded by his son Aristobulus who threw his mother and three brothers into prison to secure his reign.
		Hyrcanus II, high priest, and legitimate heir to the throne, was forced to resign by the superior military powers of his brothers Aristobulus II, and go into exile.

	Heritage
		The struggle for political control of Judea between the weak-willed Hyrcanus and his impetuous brother Aristobulus had begun during the reign of their mother, Salome Alexandra, and became even fiercer once Hyrcanus took the throne in 67 B.C.E. Hyrcanus then began his reign.
		Hyrcanus was persuaded to resume the struggle against his brother by a powerful Idumean named Antipater.
		Hyrcanus complained that although he was the elder brother, he was deprived of the prerogative of his birth by Aristobulus and that he had but a small part of the country under him, Aristobulus having taken away the rest by force.

	[Megillot] The Rise of the Pharisees in Qumran texts; TR
		Hyrcanus II makes an excellent TR for the following basic reasons: (a) extensive argument that the TR was an ex-high priest (b) TR as an ex-high priest in exile, with partisans (c) TR as opposed to WP/Liar figures in power.
		Hyrcanus II fits all of these characteristics admirably, particularly "d", control of the site of Qumran, in the wake of argument placing Qumran as an extension of the high priest's estate at Jericho.
		The portrayal of Hyrcanus II in Josephus probably stems largely from partisans of him who wanted to show his history of non-revolt, when he was on trial for his life accused of sedition by Herod.
