1 Maccabees 13:19-30 World English Bible (WEB)

19. And he sent the children and the hundred talents. And he dealt falsely, and did not set Jonathan at liberty.

20. And after this Tryphon came to invade the land, and destroy it, and he went round about by the way that leads to Adora: and Simon and his army marched over against him to every place, wherever he went.

21. Now they of the citadel sent to Tryphon ambassadors, hastening him to come to them through the wilderness, and to send them food.

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.

27. And Simon built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with polished stone behind and before.

28. And he set up seven pyramids, one over against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.

29. And for these he made cunning devices, setting about them great pillars, and upon the pillars he fashioned all manner of arms for a perpetual memory, and beside the arms ships carved, that they should be seen of all that sail on the sea.

30. This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it is there to this day.
