Simon the Zealot makes his way up the mountain in chapter 3 of The Bronze Bow. He lets Daniel know that Amalek, the blacksmith to whom Daniel was indentured and from whom he ran away, is dead, making it safe for Daniel to return to the village to visit his grandmother and sister. Daniel resents the visit at first, but he allows himself to be persuaded. An unexpected problem arises when Samson, the large deaf-mute slave who Daniel has taken charge of, attempts to follow Daniel down the mountain. Because Daniel is the only one who took a personal interest in the slave after he was captured, Samson is devoted to Daniel, always keeping him in sight. Daniel tells Samson to go back to the camp, and he assigns Joktan the task of making sure Samson gets fed. Because the slave appears to be deaf, or perhaps does not speak their language, he continues trying to follow Daniel even after Daniel tells him not to. Daniel has to get angry, wave his arms, and stomp away to communicate to Samson that he may not follow him.
