22. And Tryphon made ready all his horse to come: and on that night there fell a very great snow, and he came not by reason of the snow. And he removed, and came into the country of Gilead.
23. But when he came near to Bascama, he killed Jonathan, and he was buried there.
24. And Tryphon returned, and went away into his own land.
25. And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried him at Modin, the city of his fathers.
26. And all Israel made great lamentation over him, and mourned for him many days.
