Some years later, however, Tryphon, an officer of the Syrians, who had grown suspicious of the Maccabees, enticed Jonathan into Ptolemais and there treacherously took him prisoner.
The city was also assaulted and captured by Alexander Jannaeus, by Cleopatra and by Tigranes.

In 153/2 the non-Zadokite Jonathan Maccabaeus (ethnarch 161-142) accepted the pontificate from the Seleucid usurper Alexander Balas, and terminated the Zadokite dynasty in Jerusalem.
He was opposed by "the Liar" and the "Wicked Priest" (probably Jonathan Maccabaeus, ethnarch 161-142).
This notwithstanding, the jealous Herod had the 14-year-old Jonathan drowned in a swimming pool of the royal palace because the people had wept for joy at seeing him, a Maccabean, clothed in the garments of the Temple High Priest.

I wonder if 4Q523 "4QJonathan" published by Puech in DJD XXV (1998) may possibly be of interest here.
Not only is there a reading of "Jonathan" (= Alexander Jannaeus?--on analogy with "Jonathan the king" of 4Q448) in a broken context in line 2 apparently indicating battle or war, but in lines 9 and 11 Puech's readings have: "dans] ses [ma]gasins des tresors.
." (for the deposit of goods) Puech does not suggest a Copper Scroll connection (and Puech also argues that "Jonathan" is the earlier Jonathan Maccabaeus).

Ministers preach in their pulpits every Sunday that the religion and morality taught and practised by Jesus Christ was without a parallel or precursor because it was divinely inspired and unique to Jesus.
Christianity is not unique when compared with Essenism and, though the origin of the Essenes is still not certain, they existed in BC 150, in the days of Jonathan Maccabaeus, thus pre-dating Christianity by some two hundred years at least.
With the Pharisees and Sadducees they made up the three main Jewish sects written about by Josephus.
