39Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdome of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that hee might set the crowne vpon his owne head. 40Howbeit, he was afraid that Ionathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him, wherefore he sought a way, howe to take Ionathan, that he might kill him. So he remoued, and came to Bethsan. 41Then Ionathan went out to meet him with fourtie thousand men, chosen for the battell, and came to Bethsan. 42Now when Tryphon saw that Ionathan came with so great a force, hee durst not stretch his hande against him, 43But receiued him honourably, and cōmended him vnto all his friends, and gaue him gifts, and commaunded his men of warre to be as obedient vnto him, as to himselfe.
