When Herod had fought against these in the avenues of Judea, he was
conqueror in the battle, and drove away Antigonus, and returned to Jerusalem,
beloved by every body for the glorious action he had done; for those who
did not before favor him did join themselves to him now, because of his
marriage into the family of Hyrcanus; for as he had formerly married a
wife out of his own country of no ignoble blood, who was called Doris,
of whom he begat Antipater; so did he now marry Mariamne, the daughter
of Alexander, the son of Aristobulus, and the granddaughter of Hyrcanus,
and was become thereby a relation of the king.
