17
Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spoke deceitfully unto him, yet sent he the money and the children, lest perhaps he should procure for himself great hatred from the people,
18
who might say, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead.
19
So he sent them the children and the hundred talents. However Trypho dissembled, neither would he let Jonathan go.
20
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.
