1 Maccabees 13:21 In-Context

19 So he sent the sons and the hundred talents, but Trypho broke his word and did not release Jonathan.

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

21 Now the men in the citadel kept sending envoys 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, and he did not go because of the snow. He marched off and went into the land of Gilead.

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