20 After this, Trypho came to invade and destroy the country. He circled around by the way to Adora. But Simon and his army kept marching opposite him, every place he went.

21 Now the men in the elevated fortress kept sending messengers to Trypho, urging him to come to them by way of the wilderness and to send them food.

22 So Trypho got all his cavalry ready to go, but that night a very heavy snow fell so he didn't go. Instead, he marched into the land of Gilead.

23 When he approached Baskama, he killed Jonathan and buried him there.

24 Then Trypho returned to his own land.
