[201]
By this speech of Simon he inspired the multitude with courage; and
as they had been before dispirited through fear, they were now raised to
a good hope of better things, insomuch that the whole multitude of the
people cried out all at once that Simon should be their leader; and that
instead of Judas and Jonathan his brethren, he should have the government
over them; and they promised that they would readily obey him in whatsoever
he should command them. So he got together immediately all his own soldiers
that were fit for war, and made haste in rebuilding the walls of the city,
and strengthening them by very high and strong towers, and sent a friend
of his, one Jonathan, the son of Absalom, to Joppa, and gave him order
to eject the inhabitants out of the city, for he was afraid lest they should
deliver up the city to Trypho; but he himself staid to secure Jerusalem.
