However, the governors of Tiberias took care to have their city
secured with walls, and commanded their inhabitants to take their arms.
They also sent for a great many soldiers from John, to assist them against
me, if there should be occasion for them. Now John was at Gischala. Jonathan,
therefore, and those that were with him, when they were departed from Tiberias,
and as soon as they were come to Dabaritta, a village that lay in the utmost
parts of Galilee, in the great plain, they, about midnight, fell among
the guards I had set, who both commanded them to lay aside their weapons,
and kept them in bonds upon the place, as I had charged them to do. This
news was written to me by Levi, who had the command of that guard committed
to him by me. Hereupon I said nothing of it for two days; and, pretending
to know nothing about it, I sent a message to the people of Tiberias, and
advised them to lay their arms aside, and to dismiss their men, that they
might go home. But, supposing that Jon

But when I was in the twenty-sixth year of my age, it happened that
I took a voyage to Rome, and this on the occasion which I shall now describe.
At the time when Felix was procurator of Judea there were certain priests
of my acquaintance, and very excellent persons they were, whom on a small
and trifling occasion he had put into bonds, and sent to Rome to plead
their cause before Caesar. These I was desirous to procure deliverance
for, and that especially because I was informed that they were not unmindful
of piety towards God, even under their afflictions, but supported themselves
with figs and nuts. We
may note here, that religious men among the Jews, or at least those that
were priests, were sometimes ascetics also, and, like Daniel and his companions
in Babylon, Daniel 1:8-16, ate no flesh, but figs and nuts, etc. only.
This was like the, or austere diet of the Christian ascetics in Passion-week.

Accordingly I came to Rome, though it were through a great number

But when Titus had composed the troubles in Judea, and conjectured
that the lands which I had in Judea would bring me no profit, because a
garrison to guard the country was afterward to pitch there, he gave me
another country in the plain. And when Judea would bring me no profit, because a
garrison to guard the country was afterward to pitch there, he gave me
another country in the plain. And when he was going away to Rome, he made
choice of me to sail along with him, and paid me great respect: and when
we were come to Rome, I had great care taken of me by Vespasian; for he
gave me an apartment in his own house, which he lived in before he ca me, by God's providence I escaped them all. I also received from
Vespasian no small quantity of land, as a free gift, in Judea; about which
time I divorced my wife also, as not pleased with her behavior, though
not till she had been the mother of t command that a servant of mine,
who was a eunuch, and my accuser, should be punished. He also made that
country I had in Judea tax free, which is a mark of the greatest honor
to him who hath it; nay, Domitia, the wife of Caesar, continued to do me
