Perhaps the rift between the Hasidim and the Hasmonaeans would already have led to actual antagonism, if Alcimus had behaved with discretion. But he forfeited the alliance of the Hasidim by carrying on the partisan vendetta at Jerusalem and shedding more blood. Bacchides expelled the leaders of the Has- monsean party from Jerusalem. But Judas and his brethren had still power enough to disturb the peace of the land, so that Demetrius within a few months of the first expedition under Bacchides se...nt another under Nicanor. If we can rely at all on the lesser touches given by our Jewish historians, Nicanor was a bluff, outspoken, simple-hearted man. He NICANOR 95 began by inviting Judas to a personal interview ; and the result was that the Jewish patriot and the Mace- donian captain became friends. Nicanor seems to have come to believe that, if they were not worried, the Hasmonsean brethren would follow his advice to settle down in quiet domestic life, and all would go happily. He dismissed the levies from the neigh- bouring regions which he had with him.
