Judges 9:52-57

52And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and drew near unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 53And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and brake his skull. 54Then he called hastily unto the young man his armorbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and kill me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 55And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. 56Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren; 57and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
