When Aristobulus I, Hyrcanus' son by his first wife, became king, he deemed it necessary for his own security to imprison his half-brother. Aristobulus died after a reign of one year. Upon his death, his widow, <a href="/wiki/Salome_Alexandra" title="Salome Alexandra">Salome Alexandra</a> had Alexander and his brothers released from prison.

This raised the ire of the Pharisees, who insisted that these two offices should not be combined. According to the <a href="/wiki/Talmud" title="Talmud">Talmud</a>, Alexander was a questionable desecrated priest, rumour had it that his mother was captured in <a href="/wiki/Modi%27in_(ancient_city)" title="Modi'in (ancient city)">Modi'in</a> and violated, and, in the opinion of the Pharisees, was not allowed to serve in the <a href="/wiki/Second_Temple" title="Second Temple">temple</a>.
