a man of great reputation who assisted Alexander in fight against the noble King Ptololomye when this Alexander was de parted his life by subtle sleights and craftie conceits found such meanes that he got the yung Antiochus the only heire to this King Alexander from the Arabian Emascuel who nourisht him vp in vertuous educations to obtain the crown after his Fathers death And when he had obtained the yung King vnder his iurisdiction he began to compact 〈◊〉 against him which he could not fully compasse so long as Ionathas whome the King had made high Preest enioyed his life wherfore to preuent the same he sought which way he might slay Ionathas and beeing at Bethsan where Ionathas met with him accompayned with fortye thousād men was greatly discouraged because the force of Ionathas was so great and therfore to coullour the matter he commaunded his Armie to yeeld as due renerence vnto Ionathas in all respects as to him self And beeing met togither quoth Triphon in dissembling sorte vpon what occasion compellest thou these thy People to take such tedious trauail consdering wee be at peace and no warres is between thee mee return them home again reseruing those whome thou pleasest to haue to attend and to waight vpon thee and so walk with me to Ptolomais for I wil frankly bestowe it vpon the beside diuers other strong fortified holdes and for no cause els come I and so I wil depart Ionathas reposing confidence in the dissēbling tale of Triphon commaunded his Army to depart then went with Triphon to Ptolomais where as soone as Ionathas with his men were entred the Cittie the gates were fast shut and Ionathas put in Prison and all his men slain Then afterward departed Triphon in to the land of Iuda leading Ionathas with him as prisoner and hauing intelligence that Simon the Bro ther of Ionathas stood vp in resistāce against him in flattering sort he sent woord to Simon that the cause why he kept Ionathas in warde was but for certaine money due by him in the King's account and if so he would send an hūdred talents of Siluer and also the two sonnes of Ionathas for surety in their fathers behalf Ionathas should return home again But Simon wel perceiued the craftie deceit of Triphon and yet douting least he should become a greater enemy to the people of Israel and that they should an other day reporte that because no money was sent by Simon his Brother Ionathas was dead did send him bothe money and the two Children This fel right euen as Triphon did wish for and would not release Ionathas but soone after put bothe him and his Children to death and now at last beginneth he to bring about his long and ancient grudge toward the yung King for as he walked abrode to disporte with him traiterously did murder him and so obtained the realme crowning him self King of Asia did much hurt in the land But in the end this Triphon became so hated of all men that when Antiochus Sonne vnto Demetrius came against him the moste of his men returned and hee
