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

25
Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.
