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.
24 Then Trypho returned to his own land.
25 Simon sent for the remains of his brother Jonathan, and buried him in Modein, the city of his ancestors.
26 All Israel bewailed him with solemn lamentation, mourning over him for many days.
27 Then Simon erected over the tomb of his father and his brothers a monument of stones, polished front and back, and raised high enough to be seen at a distance.
