1 Maccabees 13:23-31
-
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.
-
28 Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.
-
29 And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.
-
30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.
-
31 Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antiochus, and slew him.
