11Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemy the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:
12for he was the high priest’s son-in-law.
— 1 Maccabees 16:13 —
14Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Shebat:
15where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Dok, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hidden men there.
