In the limit $\kappa a \gg 1$ (i.e., where the distance between the delta functions is large compared to the width of $|n\rangle$), the onsite energy becomes
In the limit $\kappa a \gg 1$ (i.e., where the distance between the delta functions is large compared to the width of the isolated orbitals), the onsite energy becomes
$$
\langle n|H|n \rangle = \epsilon_0(1-4 e^{-2\kappa a})
\langle n|H|n \rangle = \epsilon_0(1-4 e^{-2\kappa a})
$$
and the hopping becomes
$$
\langle n-1|H|n \rangle = \epsilon_0 (\kappa a - 2) e^{-\kappa a}
\langle n-1|H|n \rangle = \epsilon_0 (\kappa a - 2) e^{-\kappa a} \approx \epsilon_0 \kappa a e^{-\kappa a}
$$
