	JewishEncyclopedia.com - ALEXANDRA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		That Alexandra, the widow of Aristobulus I., was identical with her who married his brother Alexander Jannæus, is nowhere explicitly stated by Josephus, who no doubt took it for granted that the latter performed the levirate marriage prescribed by the law for the widow of a childless brother deceased.
		Alexandra does not seem to have been able to prevent the cruel persecution of that sect by her lord; nevertheless the married life of the royal pair seems to have been a happy one, and on his deathbed Alexander entrusted the government, not to his sons, but to his wife.
		Alexandra installed as high priest her eldest son, Hyrcanus II.—a man wholly after the heart of the Pharisees—and the Sanhedrin was reorganized according to their wishes.

		Salome was queen; Hyrcanus II, the elder of her two sons, was high priest; but the Pharisees held the real power, according to Josephus.
		In contrast, the association of this unit with Salome Alexandra, for example, by Flusser and Amusin, would require the pesher to depart from the apparent biblical context of these verses, the downfall of the powerful subject.

		Alexandra becomes seriously ill.

		In response to the complaints of Hyrcanus and the elders of the Jews (probably Pharisees), Alexandra detains Aristobolus' wife in children in the Baris, the fortress adjacent the Temple.
