7 The spirit of the people was renewed when they heard these words.
8 They answered loudly, "You are our leader in place of Judas and Jonathan your brothers.
9 Fight our battles, and all that you tell us we will do."
10 So he assembled the warriors and rushed to complete the walls of Jerusalem and secured it on every side.
11 He sent Jonathan, Absalom’s son, to Joppa with a sufficient army. He drove out its occupants and remained there.
12 Then Trypho left Ptolemais with a large army to invade the land of Judah, taking Jonathan with him under guard.
13 Simon camped in Adida, facing the plain.
