1 Maccabees 12:36 Context
33Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppa, and won it. 34For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it. 35After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea, 36And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it. 37Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha. 38Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and bars. 39Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.
