'''Aristobulus I''' ruled [[Israel]] as king from 104 to 103 BC.
Aristobulus was the son of [[John Hyrcanus]]. He had hoped to change the government into a kingdom so upon his father's death he took the title "king" which his predecessors had not done. Because of this he was the first priest-king of the Jewish people.
