"Alexander Jannaeus (also known as Alexander Jannai/Yannai; Hebrew: יהונתן "ינאי" אלכסנדרוס, born Jonathan Alexander) was the second Hasmonean king of Judaea from 103 to 76 BCE. A son of John Hyrcanus, he inherited the throne from his brother Aristobulus I, and married his brother´s widow, Queen Salome Alexandra. From his conquests to expand the kingdom to a bloody civil war, Alexander´s reign has been generalised as cruel and oppressive with never-ending conflict." - (en.wikipedia.org 26.12.2019)
