32And remouing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed through all the countrey. 33Simon also went foorth, and passed through the countrey vnto Ascalon, and the holds there adioyning, from whence he turned aside to Ioppe, and wanne it. 34For he had heard that they would deliuer the hold vnto them that tooke Demetrius part, wherefore he set a garison there to keepe it. 35After this came Ionathan home againe, and calling the Elders of the people together, hee consulted with them about building strong holdes in Iudea, 36And making the walles of Ierusalem higher, and raising a great mount betweene the towre 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.
