Judges 9:46-52
46On hearing of thisH8085, allH3605 the leadersH1167 in the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 enteredH935H413 the inner chamberH6877 of the templeH1004 of El-berithH410H1286.1 47And when AbimelechH40 was toldH5046 thatH3588 allH3605 the leadersH1167 in the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 were gathered thereH6908, 48heH40 and allH3605 his menH5971 went upH5927 to MountH2022 ZalmonH6756H1931. AbimelechH40 tookH3947 his axeH7134 in his handH3027 and cutH3772 a branchH7754 from the treesH6086, which he liftedH5375 toH5921 his shoulderH7926, sayingH559 toH413 his menH5971, “HurryH4116 and doH6213 whatH4100 you have seen meH7200 doH6213H3644.”
49So eachH3605 manH376 alsoH1571 cutH3772 his own branchH7754 and followedH1980H310 AbimelechH40. Then they piledH7760 the branches againstH5921 the inner chamberH6877 and setH3341 it on fireH784 above themH5921, killingH4191H1571 everyoneH3605H582 in the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927, about a thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802.
50Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 toH413 ThebezH8405, encampedH2583 against itH8405, and captured itH3920. 51But there wasH1961 a strongH5797 towerH4026 insideH8432 the cityH5892, and allH3605 the menH582, womenH802H3605, and leadersH1167 of the cityH5892 fledH5127 thereH8033. They locked themselves inH5462H1157 and went upH5927 toH5921 the roofH1406 of the towerH4026.
52When AbimelechH40 cameH935 toH5704 attackH3898 the towerH4026, he approachedH5066H5704 itsH4026 entranceH6607 to set it on fireH8313H784.
