Something looks very wrong with Josephus' or Wikipedia's story about Aretas, Hyrcanus, and Aristobulus. edit

Josephus writes that ARETAS AND HYRCANUS MADE AN EXPEDITION AGAINST ARISTOBULUS AND BESIEGED JERUSALEM, but Wikipedia says the opposite, that Aristobulus defeated Hyrcanus, who was hiding in Jerusalem. Josephus literally wrote: "AFTER these promises had been given to Aretas, he made an expedition against Aristobulus with an army of fifty thousand horse and foot, and beat him in the battle. And when after that victory many went over to Hyrcanus as deserters, Aristobulus was left desolate, and fled to Jerusalem". https://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/josephus/ant-14.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakovsky (talk • contribs) 00:59, 10 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Jewish Encyclopedia article quote edit

Most of the 2nd paragraph of #1Family is a direct quote from https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1769-aristobulus-ii. There is a reference but should it be made more obvious? Mcljlm (talk) 17:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
