And after this came Trypho 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 every place wheresoever he went.
21
Now those who were in the tower sent messengers unto Trypho, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by way of the wilderness and send them victuals.
22
Therefore Trypho 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 Gilead.
23
And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.
24
Afterward Trypho returned and went into his own land.
25
Then Simon sent 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 sepulcher 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 opposite another, for his father and his mother and his four brethren.
29
And in these he made skillful designs, about which he set great pillars; and upon the pillars he made all their armor for a perpetual memory, and by the armor ships carved, that they might be seen by all who sail on the sea.
30
This is the sepulcher which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.
