Excerpt from Herod the Great, the King of the Jews: With an Account of Various Circumstances, Historical and Prophetical, Connected With the Coming of Christ Jesus the Lord Into the World

The one who reared with great care and great cost this monument to their memory was Simon, the second son of the aged and valorous Mattathias, and who snr vived them all. When he became in his turn, by the universal consent of his nation, their ruler, and Jude; once more stood erect among the surrounding nations as an independent kingdom, Simon built this mauso leum over the spot where reposed the remains of his father and mother and his four brothers, J ohn, J udas, Eleazar, and J onathan. Of the seven pyramids, six were erected, one over against the other, in memory of those already dead; the seventh was reserved for himself.
