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. 37Upon this they came together, to build vp the citie forasmuch as [part of] the wall toward the brooke on the East side was fallen down, & they repaired that which was called Caphenatha 38Simon also set vp Adida, in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and barres.
