1 Maccabees 13:21

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.

1 Maccabees 13:21 In-Context

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.

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.
