1 Maccabees 13:19-27
-
19 So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled neither would he let Jonathan go.
-
20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.
-
21 Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.
-
22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.
-
23 And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.
-
24 Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.
-
25 Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.
-
26 And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and bewailed him many days.
-
27 Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.
