King James VersionSource notes
“Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and bars.”
Context
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.
40Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.
41Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.
