Question

Was there any concerns of wrong doing by the Macaabim in engaging in battle as they had the status of kohanim?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

No. But they were not supposed to become the "kings." Just like the family of King David should not try becoming Kohanim, the Kehonim should not take over the kingdom. AA
