1 Maccabees 13:19-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

19. So he sent the boys and the hundred talents; but Trypho broke his promise and would not release Jonathan.

20. Next Trypho moved to invade and ravage the country. His troops went around by the road that leads to Adora, but Simon and his army moved along opposite him everywhere he went.

21. The people in the citadel kept sending emissaries to Trypho, pressing him to come to them by way of the wilderness, and to send them provisions.

22. Although Trypho got all his cavalry ready to go, there was a very heavy snowfall that night, and he could not go on account of the snow. So he left for Gilead.

23. When he was approaching Baskama, he had Jonathan killed and buried him there.
