Amplified Bible
Judges 9:52-57
52So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the entrance of the tower to burn it down with fire.
53But a certain woman threw an upper millstone [down] on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.
54Then he called quickly to the young man who was his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” So the young man pierced him through, and he died.
55When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each departed to his home.
56In this way God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father [Jerubbaal] by killing his seventy brothers.
57Also God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal (Gideon) came upon them.
