He entertained designs upon the throne, even during the life of his mother. He courted the nobles and military party by constituting himself the patron of the <a href="/wiki/Sadducees" title="Sadducees">Sadducees</a> and bringing their cause before the queen. The many fortresses which the queen placed at the disposal of the Sadducees, ostensibly for their defense against the <a href="/wiki/Pharisees" title="Pharisees">Pharisees</a>, constituted in reality one of the preparatory moves of Aristobulus for the usurpation of the government. The queen sought to direct his military zeal outside Judea, and sent him (70-69) against <a href="/wiki/Ptolemy_(son_of_Mennaeus)" title="Ptolemy (son of Mennaeus)">Ptolemy Mennaeus</a>; but when the undertaking failed, Aristobulus resumed his political intrigues. He left Jerusalem secretly and betook himself to his friends, who controlled the largest number of fortified places, with the intention of making war against his aged mother.
