It should be noted that over time the Hasmonean (Maccabeean) dynasty became very Hellenized. Later Hasmonean kings like John Hyrcanus adopted Greek names. BTW John Hycanus was the king who conquered the Edomites and forcibly converted them to Judaism. Later on when the Romans decided that they had enough of the Hasmoneans, they placed Edomite princes (the Herods) on the throne of Judea.
