Judges 9:42-49

42And it came to pass on the morrow, that the peopleH5971 wentH3318 out into the fieldH7704; and they toldH5046 AbimelechH40.

43And he tookH3947 the peopleH5971, and dividedH2673 them into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and layH693 in ambushH693 in the fieldH7704. And he lookedH7200, and behold, the peopleH5971 cameH3318 forthH3318 out of the cityH5892; and he roseH6965 up against them and smote them.

44And AbimelechH40, and the companiesH7218 that were with him, rushed forward, and stoodH5975 in the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892; and twoH8147 of the companiesH7218 ran upon all that were in the fieldsH7704, and slew them.

45And AbimelechH40 foughtH3898 against the cityH5892 all that dayH3117; and he tookH3920 the cityH5892, and slewH2026 the peopleH5971 that were in it, and brokeH5422 down the cityH5892, and sowedH2232 it with saltH4417.

46And all the men of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 heardH8085 [that], and they entered into the stronghold of the houseH1004 of the 1godH410 Berith.

47And it was toldH5046 AbimelechH40 that all the men of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 had gatheredH6908 togetherH6908.

48Then AbimelechH40 wentH5927 up to mount ZalmonH6756, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him; and AbimelechH40 tookH3947 an axeH7134 in his handH3027, and cutH3772 down a bough from the treesH6086, and tookH3947 it up and laid it on his shoulderH7926, and saidH559 to the peopleH5971 that was with him, What ye have seenH7200 me do, makeH7760 hasteH4116, do as I have done.

49And all the peopleH5971 likewise cutH3772 down every manH376 his bough, and they followed AbimelechH40, and putH4191 [them] to the hold, and burnedH3341 the hold with fireH784 upon them. And all the menH376 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 diedH4191 alsoH1571, about a thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802.
