12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a mighty host to enter into the land of Judah; and Jonathan was with him in ward. 13 But Simon encamped at Adida, tover against the plaint. 14 And (when) Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathanu, and meant to join battle with him, he sent ambassadors unto him, saying: 15 ‘It is for the money which Jonathan thy brother owed unto the king’s treasure, vby reason of the offices which he had v, that we hold him fast. 16 And now send a hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons (as) hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us,—and we will set him at liberty.’ 17 And Simon kneww that they spake xunto himx deceitfully, but sent the money and the children, lest peradventure he should bring upon himself great hatred on the part of the peopley, (in that they should be) saying: 18 ‘Because I sent him not the money and the children z ahe perishedb.’ 19 cAnd he sent the childrenz c and the hundred talents; anda hed dealt falsely, and did not set Jonathan at liberty. 20 And eafter thise Tryphon came to invade the landf, and destroy it, and he went round about by the way (that leadeth) to Adora; and Simon and his army marched over against him to whatsoever place he went. 21 Now they of the citadel sent gunto Tryphong ambassadors, hastening him to come hunto them through the wilderness, and to send them victualsh. 22 And Tryphon made ready all his horse to come; and in that night there fell ia great quantity ofi snow, and he did not (find it possible to) come because of the snow; so he removed, and came into the country of Gilead. 23 But when he came near to Bascama, he slew Jonathan, and he was buried there. 24 And Tryphon returned, and went away into his own land.
