1 Maccabees 13:18-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. "It is because he did not send the money and the boys that he perished."

19. So he sent the boys and one hundred talents. And he was lying and did not dismiss Jonathan.

20. And after this, Trypho came into the country, to crush it. And they circled around by the way that leads to Adora. And Simon and his camp marched into every place, wherever they went.

21. But those who were in the stronghold sent messengers to Trypho, so that he would hurry to come through the desert, and to send them provisions.

22. And Trypho prepared all his horsemen to arrive on that night. But there was a very great snowfall, and he did not come into Gilead.

23. And when he approached toward Baskama, he killed Jonathan and his sons there.

24. And Trypho turned back and went into his own land.

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

26. And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation. And they mourned him for many days.

27. And Simon built, over the sepulcher of his father and of his brothers, a building, lofty to see, of polished stone, front and back.
