16:9. At that time, Judas, John's brother, was wounded: but John pursued
after them, till he came to Cedron, which he had built:
Cedron... Otherwise called Gedon, the city that Cendebeus was
fortifying.
16:10. And they fled even to the towers that were in the fields of
Azotus, and he burnt them with fire. And there fell of them two thousand
men, and he returned into Judea in peace.
16:11. Now Ptolemee, the son of Abobus, was appointed captain in the
plain of Jericho, and he had abundance of silver and gold.
16:12. For he was son in law of the high priest.
16:13. And his heart was lifted up, and he designed to make himself
master of the country, and he purposed treachery against Simon and his
sons, to destroy them.
16:14. Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the
country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went
down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one
hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month
Sabath.
16:15. And the son of Abobus received them deceitfully into a little
fortress, that is called Doch, which he had built: and he made them a
great feast, and hid men there.
16:16. And when Simon and his sons had drunk plentifully, Ptolemee and
his men rose up, and took their weapons, and entered into the banqueting
place, and slew him, and his two sons, and some of his servants.
16:17. And he committed a great treachery in Israel, and rendered evil
for good.
16:18. And Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king that he
should send him an army to aid him, and he would deliver him the
country, and their cities, and tributes.
16:19. And he sent others to Gazara to kill John: and to the tribunes he
sent letters to come to him, and that he would give them silver, and
gold, and gifts.
16:20. And he sent others to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the
temple.
16:21. Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and
his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also.
16:22. But when he heard it, he was exceedingly afraid: and he
apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for
he knew that they sought to make him away.
16:23. And as concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and
the worthy deeds, which he bravely achieved, and the building of the
walls, which he made, and the things that he did:
16:24. Behold, these are written in the book of the days of his
priesthood, from the time that he was made high priest after his father.
