84 But Jonathan set fire on Ashdod, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.
85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men.
86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ash´kelon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.
87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having many spoils.
88 Now when king Alexander heard these things, he honored Jonathan yet more,
89 and sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Ekron with the borders thereof in possession.
