King James VersionSource notes
“Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.”
Context
18Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead.
19So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled neither would he let Jonathan go.
20And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.
21Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.
22Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.
23And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.
24Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.
